Description

How come evaluation, precision_at_k, is so slow? On the training set, it takes 2.5 minutes per epoch but the test set at 10% the size has taken at least 10 minutes and there's no way to tell how much longer it'll take. Anyone else have this issue?

`test_precision = precision_at_k(model, test_matrix, k=12, train_interactions=train_matrix).mean()`

Research direction

Start at the precision_at_k(model, test_matrix, k=12, train_interactions=train_matrix) call and trace the evaluation implementation it invokes; no source file or test is named in the report. Reproduce the timing difference on training and test matrices, then use the observed behavior to define the needed performance fix and a regression check.
