Problems running the examples

[phiyodr]

Hi,

cool project! I tried to run the examples but I run into errors.

I think that might be due to different package versions I use (mainly pandas and six). Would you be so kind and provide me with the version numbers you used back then.

Error in movielens_preprocess:

----> 1 movie = movie_preprocessing(movie)

<ipython-input-7-0d79f909437b> in movie_preprocessing(movie)
     21     tag_table = {token: idx for idx, token in enumerate(set(itertools.chain.from_iterable(movie_tag)))}
     22     movie_tag = pd.DataFrame(movie_tag)
---> 23     tag_table = pd.DataFrame(tag_table.items())

~/Environments/py3old/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pandas/core/frame.py in __init__(self, data, index, columns, dtype, copy)
    300                                          copy=False)
    301             else:
--> 302                 raise PandasError('DataFrame constructor not properly called!')
    303 
    304         NDFrame.__init__(self, mgr, fastpath=True)

PandasError: DataFrame constructor not properly called!

I could solve that replacing

tag_table = pd.DataFrame(tag_table.items())

with

tag_table=pd.DataFrame.from_dict(tag_table, orient='index')
tag_table.reset_index(level=0, inplace=True)

Many thanks in advance!

Yea, it looks like their example code is heavily outdated. I just run the files under simulation instead. Those worked fine.

I managed to get the example to run, however, very hacky. feel free to pull from my forked version for temporary hacky fix.

[shiweixxx]

modify movielens_bandit.py:
1.policy = linucb.LinUCB(history_storage=historystorage, model_storage=modelstorage,action_storage=actions, alpha=0.3, context_dimension=18)
2.action[0]['action'].action_id as action[0].action.id

Just combine the previous two fix and get the example works. Feel free to pull from my forked.
