Look inside
Behind the scenes on websites like Amazon, Netflix, and Spotify, models make predictions on thousands of items every day. Then, based on what they’ve learned, they choose only the best recommendations to display for every individual user. In the real world, performing thousands of predictions one by one, as in a notebook-only model, would be highly inefficient. In this liveProject, you’ll reconfigure the models you implemented in the previous project to accept a list of items for each user and then evaluate all items at once—choosing the best recommendations much more quickly and efficiently.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
This liveProject is for data scientists with theoretical knowledge of machine learning, deep learning, and recommender systems who want to take the next step in their career. To begin these liveProjects you will need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS
- Intermediate Python (NumPy, pandas, Matplotlib)
- Intermediate scikit-learn
- Basics of TensorFlow 2.x (Keras interface)
- TensorFlow Recommenders (retrieval and ranking models)
- Basic linear algebra (vectors, spaces, matrix transformations)
- Rank models using TensorFlow Recommenders
you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll learn to reconfigure a “notebook-only” recommendation system to a model capable of quickly and efficiently handling many items per user:
- Adapt a model to accept a list of many items per user
- Increase the dimensionality of item features
- Use linear algebra to combine networks with differing dimensionality
features
- Self-paced
- You choose the schedule and decide how much time to invest as you build your project.
- Project roadmap
- Each project is divided into several achievable steps.
- Get Help
- While within the liveProject platform, get help from other participants and our expert mentors.
- Compare with others
- For each step, compare your deliverable to the solutions by the author and other participants.
- book resources
- Get full access to select books for 90 days. Permanent access to excerpts from Manning products are also included, as well as references to other resources.
