Recommendation System using ML and DL

Recommendation Systems

This is a workshop on using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques to build Recommendation Systesm

• Theory: ML & DL Formulation, Prediction vs. Ranking, Similiarity, Biased vs. Unbiased
• Paradigms: Content-based, Collaborative filtering, Knowledge-based, Hybrid and Ensembles
• Data: Tabular, Images, Text (Sequences)
• Models: (Deep) Matrix Factorisation, Auto-Encoders, Wide & Deep, Rank-Learning, Sequence Modelling
• Methods: Explicit vs. implicit feedback, User-Item matrix, Embeddings, Convolution, Recurrent, Domain Signals: location, time, context, social,
• Process: Setup, Encode & Embed, Design, Train & Select, Serve & Scale, Measure, Test & Improve
• Tools: python-data-stack: numpy, pandas, scikit-learn, keras, spacy, implicit, lightfm
