Machine Learning: Make Your Own Recommender System

FOREWORD

 

Recommender systems dictate the stream of content displayed to us each day and their impact on online behavior is second to none. From relevant friend suggestions on Facebook to product recommendations on Amazon, there’s no missing their presence and online sway. Whether you agree or disagree with this method of marketing, there’s no arguing its effectiveness. If mass adoption doesn’t convince you, take a look at what you’ve recently viewed and bought online. There’s a strong chance that at least some of your online activities, including finding this book, originated from algorithm-backed recommendations.

These data-driven systems are eroding the dominance of traditional search while aiding the discoverability of items that might not otherwise have been found. As a breakaway branch of machine learning, it’s more important than ever to understand how these models work and how to code your own basic recommender system.

This book is designed for beginners with partial background knowledge of data science and machine learning, including statistics and computing programming using Python. If this is your first foray into data science, you may want to spend a few hours reading my first book Machine Learning for Absolute Beginners before you get started here.

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
