In this course you will learn a variety of matrix factorization and hybrid machine learning techniques for recommender systems. Starting with basic matrix factorization, you will understand both the intuition and the practical details of building recommender systems based on reducing the dimensionality of the user-product preference space. Then you will learn about techniques that combine the strengths of different algorithms into powerful hybrid recommenders.

TOP REVIEWS FROM MATRIX FACTORIZATION AND ADVANCED TECHNIQUES
Very good. Per closing comments, it probably needs an update (since 2016) as this is active, progressive area.
It will be great, if we can do honor's track with Python or R
Interview with Francesco Ricci
is very knowledgeable about context aware Recommender System.
The content is really good, but overall the interviews with experts in the field are the best of this course.
