Look inside
Recommender systems are one of the most popular and lucrative uses of machine learning, allowing businesses and organizations to give personalized suggestions to their customers.
In this liveProject, you’ll use common tools of the Python data ecosystem to design, build, and evaluate a movie recommendation model for the movie website. You’ll kick off your project by building simple genre charts, then work with existing movie rating data to implement personalized recommendations for each customer. When you’ve completed this hands-on and interesting project, you’ll have mastered a cornerstone technique of machine learning that’s in demand across companies and industries.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
