Webinar: Getting Started with Recommendation Engines

Webinar Recording

About the Webinar:

In today’s world, every customer is faced with multiple choices. For example, If we’re looking for a book to read without any specific idea of what we want, there’s a wide range of possibilities how our search might pan out. We might waste a lot of time browsing around on the internet and trawling through various sites hoping to strike gold. We might look for recommendations from other people.

But if there was a site or app which could recommend books based on what we have read previously, that would be a massive help. Instead of wasting time on various sites, we could just log in and voila! 10 recommended books tailored to our taste.

This is what recommendation engines do and their power is being harnessed by most businesses these days. From Amazon to Netflix and Google to Goodreads, recommendation engines are one of the most widely used applications of machine learning techniques.

In this webinar hosted by Dr. Sarabjot Singh Anand, an industry veteran who brings an immensely rich machine learning background, you will learn all about how recommendation engines work and how to get started with them as an analyst or data science professional.
