Understanding recommender systems
Welcome to the beginning of an adventure on recommendation systems! I’m diving into the book Practical Recommender Systems (you can find the link at the end) and sharing my notes here as part of a practice exercise.
In this post, I’ll focus on Chapter 1. It delves into the fundamental concept of what a recommender system is and introduces key ideas that will likely resurface throughout the book.
To save some typing, I’ll use the abbreviation RecSys for Recommender Systems in the upcoming posts, considering we’ll mention it frequently.
