Files
"Small" subsets for experimentation
If you're using this data for a class project (or similar) please consider using one of these smaller datasets below before requesting the larger files. To obtain the larger files you will need to contact me to obtain access.
K-cores (i.e., dense subsets): These data have been reduced to extract the k-core, such that each of the remaining users and items have k reviews each.
Ratings only: These datasets include no metadata or reviews, but only (user,item,rating,timestamp) tuples. Thus they are suitable for use with mymedialite (or similar) packages.

Code to Read Data and Implement
Reading the data
Data can be treated as python dictionary objects. A simple script to read any of the above the data is as follows:
def parse(path):
g = gzip.open(path, 'r')
for l in g:
yield eval(l)Convert to 'strict' json
The above data can be read with python 'eval', but is not strict json. If you'd like to use some language other than python, you can convert the data to strict json as follows:
import json
import gzip
def parse(path):
g = gzip.open(path, 'r')
for l in g:
yield json.dumps(eval(l))
f = open("output.strict", 'w')
for l in parse("reviews_Video_Games.json.gz"):
f.write(l + '\n')Pandas data frame
This code reads the data into a pandas data frame:
import pandas as pd
import gzip
def parse(path):
g = gzip.open(path, 'rb')
for l in g: yield eval(l)
def getDF(path):
i = 0
df = {}
for d in parse(path):
df[i] = d
i += 1
return pd.DataFrame.from_dict(df, orient='index')
df = getDF('reviews_Video_Games.json.gz')Read image features
import array
def readImageFeatures(path):
f = open(path, 'rb')
while True:
asin = f.read(10)
if asin == '': break
a = array.array('f')
a.fromfile(f, 4096)
yield asin, a.tolist()Example: compute average rating
ratings = []
for review in parse("reviews_Video_Games.json.gz"):
ratings.append(review['overall'])
print sum(ratings) / len(ratings)Get help in Big Data Assignments, Projects and Other Amazon Review Related Help with an affordable price.
