A unified, comprehensive and efficient recommendation library. We design general and extensible data structures to unify the formatting and usage of various recommendation datasets. We implement more than 100 commonly used recommendation algorithms and provide formatted copies of 28 recommendation datasets. We support a series of widely adopted evaluation protocols or settings for testing and comparing recommendation algorithms. RecBole is developed based on Python and PyTorch for reproducing and developing recommendation algorithms in a unified, comprehensive and efficient framework for research purpose. It can be installed from pip, conda and source, and is easy to use. We have implemented more than 100 recommender system models, covering four common recommender system categories in RecBole and eight toolkits of RecBole2.0, including General Recommendation, Sequential Recommendation, Context-aware Recommendation, and Knowledge-based Recommendation and sub-packages.
