A Recommender System is a process that seeks to predict user preferences. This Specialization covers all the fundamental techniques in recommender systems, from non-personalized and project-association recommenders through content-based and collaborative filtering techniques, as well as advanced topics like matrix factorization, hybrid machine learning methods for recommender systems, and dimension reduction techniques for the user-product preference space.
This Specialization is designed to serve both the data mining expert who would want to implement techniques like collaborative filtering in their job, as well as the data literate marketing professional, who would want to gain more familiarity with these topics.
Why this Course
The courses offer interactive, spreadsheet-based exercises to master different algorithms, along with an honors track where you can go into greater depth using the modern tools.
By the end of this Specialization, you’ll be able to implement as well as evaluate recommender systems. The Project brings together the course material with a realistic recommender design and analysis project.
Students will learn to:
- Students will learn the concept of recommender system and its use in web applications.
- Students will acquire knowledge about optimization and learn various collaborative filtering methods
Students will be able to:
- Learn about advanced topics and current applications of recommender systems in other realms such as mobile computing.
- Understand the basic concepts of recommender systems
- Solve mathematical optimization problems pertaing to recommender systems
- Implement machine-learning and data-mining algorithms in recommender systems data sets.
- Carry out performance evaluation of recommender systems based on various metrics
- Design and implement a simple recommender system.
