Recommendation Engine with IBM Watson

This project was concieved in collaboration with Udacity and IBM Watson

Overview

In this project I aim to create a recommendation system for the IBM Watson community. The recommendation system suggests articles for users to interact.

Features

The recommender system can make recommendations in a number of ways:

  1. Collaborative Filtering
  • Takes into account the similarity of users and recommends the most popular articles read by similar users
  1. Rank Based Recommendations
  • Recommends the highest ranked articles starting with the most highly ranked
  1. Content Based Filtering
  • Produces recommendations based on similarity to material the user has interacted with previously. Utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) methodology to analyse and rank articles by similarity.
  1. SVD - Matrix Factorization Recommendations
  • Utilises matrix operations to predict the ranking (or in this case the boolean interaction variable)

Usage

See Deployed Web App

  • App Code (Heroku)
  • Collaborative Filtering
  • Rank based recommendations
  • Content based recommendations (user's read articles, or certain specified articles)
  • dataset visualisation
