Learn to create, train and evaluate a recommendation engine with Scikit-Surprise
Learn to clean, analyse and use real-word datasets for recommendation systems
With the amount of available online content ever-increasing and all the platforms trying to grab your attention by giving you personalized recommendations, recommendation engines are more important than ever. In this project-based course, you will create a recommendation system using Collaborative Filtering with help of Scikit-surprise library, which learns from past user behavior. We will be working with a movie lense dataset and by the end of this project, you will be able to give unique movie recommendations for every user based on their past ratings. This project is best suited for anyone who is venturing into data science and is curious as to how recommendation engines work. This project will be a great addition to your portfolio to showcase your real-world hands-on experience with recommendation systems as we would be working with a real-world dataset.
