Abstract: 
Recommender Systems have shown to be an effective way to alleviate the over-choice problem and provide accurate and tailored recommendations. However, the impressive number of proposed recommendation algorithms, splitting strategies, evaluation protocols, metrics, and tasks, has made rigorous experimental evaluation particularly challenging. ELLIOT is a comprehensive recommendation framework that aims to run and reproduce an entire experimental pipeline by processing a simple configuration file. The framework loads, filters, and splits the data considering a vast set of strategies. Then, it optimizes hyperparameters for several recommendation algorithms, selects the best models, compares them with the baselines, computes metrics spanning from accuracy to beyond-accuracy, bias, and fairness, and conducts statistical analysis. The aim is to provide researchers a tool to ease all the experimental evaluation phases (and make them reproducible), from data reading to results collection.
