First check that the requirements are satisfied:
Python 3.6
torch 1.2.0
numpy 1.18.1
matplotlib 3.1.2
tqdm 4.45.0

The next step is to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/pliang279/sparse_discrete.git

download Movielens 25m data from http:https://files.grouplens.org/datasets/movielens/ml-25m.zip and unzip into a folder ml-25m/

download Movielens 1m data from http:https://files.grouplens.org/datasets/movielens/ml-1m.zip and unzip into a folder ml-1m/

run python3 movielens_data.py which extracts the .dat files in ml-1m/ and generates ml-1m/ml1m_ratings.csv

by now, make sure you have the files ml-25m/ratings.csv and ml-1m/ml1m_ratings.csv

download amazon data from http:https://deepyeti.ucsd.edu/jianmo/amazon/categoryFilesSmall/all_csv_files.csv into a folder called amazon_data/

run python3 movielens_data.py, which parses the .csv files in amazon_data/ and generates the file amazon_data/saved_amazon_data_filtered5.h5
