Description
In this course, you will see how to use advanced machine learning techniques to build more sophisticated recommender systems. Machine Learning is able to provide recommendations and make better predictions, by taking advantage of historical opinions from users and building up the model automatically, without the need for you to think about all the details of the model.
Knowledge
- You will be able to use some machine learning and neural network techniques, in order to build more sophisticated recommender systems.
- You will learn how to combine different basic approaches into a hybrid recommender system, in order to improve the quality of recommendations.
- You will know how to integrate different kinds of side information (about content or context) in a recommender system.
- You'll learn how to use factorization machines and represent the input data, mixing together different kinds of filtering techniques.
