Dataset in which same interactions user/item matter, no the ratings

[gabarlacchi]

Hey there,
thanks for the amazing work here.

I would like to fully understand how to load a dataset (which also contains ratings value for each interaction) by considering the frequency of interaction user-item (same user,same item multiple times). In the sense that the model will look at how many times a user interacted with an item, no matters what the rating is every time.

Right now I load this kind of dataset also with rating column, but it's not clear to me where the model focus in order to make predictions or whatever linked to. If I load a dataset in which there are ratings, but also multiple interactions for the same user/items, what the model consider important?
Is this functionality already online, or there's a nice way to do it?

Best,
Gabriele
