What it does

Rax is a library that helps you train machine learning models to rank items in a list, such as search results or product recommendations.

When to use it
  • •Building a search engine that needs to rank results by relevance
  • •Creating a product recommendation system that suggests items based on user behavior
  • •Developing a content ranking system for a news feed or social media platform
Ready-to-paste prompt
python examples/train_model.py --dataset=example_data --model=ranking_model
Heads up: Rax requires JAX to be installed, which can be challenging to install on certain platforms, especially those without GPU support, so ensure you have a compatible environment before installing Rax.
