Recommendation System

Recommendation System is an algorithmic engine that tailors product, content, or social suggestions to a user by learning from behavior signals like clicks, ratings, and purchase history. Core approaches include collaborative filtering (matching similar users or items), content-based filtering (matching item attributes to user profiles), and hybrid models that blend both with deep-learning embeddings. A typical pipeline ingests events, stores them in a feature store, trains models with algorithms such as matrix factorization, gradient-boosted trees, or Transformer sequence models, and serves ranked lists via a low-latency API. Online A/B testing, offline metrics (precision@k, NDCG), and feedback loops refine relevance while guarding against filter bubbles and cold-start issues. Recommendation Systems power Netflix rows, Amazon “Customers also bought,” and personalized news feeds, driving engagement and revenue by turning vast catalogs into curated experiences.
