ClueWeb-Reco:

ClueWeb-Reco as Webpage Recommendation Hidden Test

ClueWeb-Reco is a dataset constructed by mapping real-life U.S. browsing history to publicly available websites in the English subset of ClueWeb22-B dataset. Its synthetic nature ensures strong privacy guarantee while it closely mirrors real user interactions and reveals real-life performance of recommder systems.

ClueWeb-Reco serves as the hidden test set of the ORBIT benchmark. The task simulates real-world user browsing behavior, where a model is given a sequence of user interactions in terms of ClueWeb page IDs, and must predict the next item a user will engage with from the candidate pool of ClueWeb22-B English subset.

ClueWeb-Reco follows sequential leave-one-out splitting method and is splitted into validation and test set. That is, or each sequence grouped by user or sessions with length n, the first n − 2 items are used as user history input to for validation to predict the validation target, which is the (n − 1)th item. The nth item is reserved as the target for the test set while the previous n − 1 items are given as test input.

We provide input and ground truth for the validation set. The target of the test set is hidden to avoid possible data leakage and ensure the effectiveness and integrity of the benchmark.
