Description

Hi

I am trying to create a hybrid recommender using item's features
I have a dataset with 478,930 interactions
I am quite sure that each user-item pairs available only once in my data,
so it should be no interactions shared between train and test sets
However, I keep getting the issue:
ValueError: Test interactions matrix and train interactions matrix share 95786 interactions. This will cause incorrect evaluation, check your data split.

How can I solve this?
What are the potential reasons for this?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the reported train/test split with the stated interaction data and inspect how LightFM validates overlap. Done would be identifying whether the overlap comes from the data split or a library defect and documenting a concrete fix or clarification.
