Memory and Retrieval
A system that selects for each user a relatively small set of desirable items from a large corpus. For example, a video recommendation system might recommend two videos from a corpus of 100,000 videos, selecting Casablanca and The Philadelphia Story for one user, and Wonder Woman and Black Panther for another. A video recommendation system might base its recommendations on factors such as:
Movies that similar users have rated or watched.
Genre, directors, actors, target demographic...
See the Recommendation Systems course for more information.
