Platform For AI：EasyRec

背景資訊

基於EasyRec Processor的Recommendation Engine的架構圖如下所示：

其中EasyRec Processor主要包含以下模組：

• Item Feature Cache：將FeatureStore裡面的特徵緩衝到記憶體中，可以減少請求FeatureStore帶來的網路開銷和壓力。此外，Item特徵緩衝支援累加式更新，例如即時特徵的更新。

• Feature Generator：特徵工程模組（FG）採用相同的實現保證了離線和線上特徵處理的一致性。 特徵工程的實現借鑒於淘寶沉澱的特徵工程方案。

• TFModel：TensorFlow模型載入EasyRec匯出的Saved_Model，並結合Blade做模型在CPU和GPU上的推理最佳化。

• 特徵埋點和模型增量更新模組：通常應用於即時訓練情境，詳情請參見即時訓練。

使用限制

僅支援使用通用型執行個體規格類型系列g6、g7或g8機型（僅支援Intel系列的CPU），支援T4、A10、3090或4090等GPU型號，詳情請參見通用型。

版本列表

EasyRec Processor仍然在迭代中，建議使用最新的版本部署推理服務，新的版本將提供更多的功能和更高的推理效能，已經發布的版本：

步驟一：部署服務

使用eascmd用戶端部署EasyRec模型服務時，您需要指定Processor種類為easyrec-{version}，關於如何使用用戶端工具部署服務，詳情請參見服務部署：EASCMD或DSW。服務組態檔樣本如下：

步驟二：調用服務

EasyRec模型服務部署完成後，在模型線上服務（EAS）頁面，單擊待調用服務服務方式列下的調用資訊，查看服務的訪問地址和Token資訊。

EasyRec模型服務的輸入輸出格式為Protobuf格式，根據是否包含FG，分為以下兩種調用方法：

包含FG：fg_mode=tf

import com.aliyun.openservices.eas.predict.http.*;
import com.aliyun.openservices.eas.predict.request.EasyRecRequest;

PredictClient client = new PredictClient(new HttpConfig());
// 通過普通網關訪問時，需要使用以使用者UID開頭的Endpoint，在EAS控制台服務的調用資訊中可以獲得該資訊。
client.setEndpoint("xxxxxxx.vpc.cn-hangzhou.pai-eas.aliyuncs.com");
client.setModelName("ali_rec_rnk_with_fg");
// 替換為服務Token資訊。
client.setToken("******");

EasyRecRequest easyrecRequest = new EasyRecRequest(separator);
// userFeatures: 使用者特徵, 特徵之間用\u0002(CTRL_B)分隔, 特徵名和特徵值之間用:分隔。
//  user_fea0:user_fea0_val\u0002user_fea1:user_fea1_val
// 特徵值的格式請參考: https://easyrec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/feature/rtp_fg.html
easyrecRequest.appendUserFeatureString(userFeatures);
// 也可以每次添加一個user特徵:
// easyrecRequest.addUserFeature(String userFeaName, T userFeaValue)。
// 特徵值的類型T: String, float, long, int。

// contextFeatures: context特徵, 特徵之間用\u0002(CTRL_B)分隔, 特徵名和特徵值之間用:分割, 特徵值和特徵值之間用:分隔。
//   ctxt_fea0:ctxt_fea0_ival0:ctxt_fea0_ival1:ctxt_fea0_ival2\u0002ctxt_fea1:ctxt_fea1_ival0:ctxt_fea1_ival1:ctxt_fea1_ival2
easyrecRequest.appendContextFeatureString(contextFeatures);
// 也可以每次添加一個context特徵：
// easyrecRequest.addContextFeature(String ctxtFeaName, List<Object> ctxtFeaValue)。
// ctxtFeaValue的類型: String, Float, Long, Integer。

// itemIdStr: 要預測的itemId的列表，以半形逗號（,）分割。
easyrecRequest.appendItemStr(itemIdStr, ",");
// 也可以每次添加一個itemId:
// easyrecRequest.appendItemId(String itemId)

PredictProtos.PBResponse response = client.predict(easyrecRequest);

for (Map.Entry<String, PredictProtos.Results> entry : response.getResultsMap().entrySet()) {
    String key = entry.getKey();
    PredictProtos.Results value = entry.getValue();
    System.out.print("key: " + key);
    for (int i = 0; i < value.getScoresCount(); i++) {
        System.out.format("value: %.6g\n", value.getScores(i));
    }
}

// 擷取FG之後的特徵，以便和離線的特徵對比一致性。
// 將DebugLevel設定成1，即可返回產生的特徵。
easyrecRequest.setDebugLevel(1);
PredictProtos.PBResponse response = client.predict(easyrecRequest);
Map<String, String> genFeas = response.getGenerateFeaturesMap();
for(String itemId: genFeas.keySet()) {
    System.out.println(itemId);
    System.out.println(genFeas.get(itemId));
}
