Are you tired of sifting through an endless sea of content, struggling to find something that truly piques your interest? Thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI), those days may soon be over.

The Evolution of Recommendation Engines

Recommendation engines have come a long way since their inception. Initially, they relied on simple algorithms that suggested products or content based on user preferences or purchase history. However, the advent of AI and machine learning has catapulted these engines into a new era.

What are Recommendation Engines?

Recommendation engines are AI-powered systems that provide personalized recommendations to users based on their past behaviour, preferences, and interests. These systems use machine learning algorithms to analyse user data and make predictions about what products or services they are likely to be interested in. Recommendation engines are used in a variety of industries, including e-commerce, media, and entertainment.

Do you the 3 types of RE?

1. Content-Based Filtering

Content-based filtering is a type of recommendation engine that uses the characteristics of the items to recommend similar items to the user. For example, if a user has shown interest in romantic movies, the system will recommend other romantic movies based on their characteristics, such as actors, director, genre, and ratings. Content-based filtering does not require other users' data during recommendations to one user.

2. Collaborative Filtering

Collaborative filtering is another type of recommendation engine that uses the behaviour of other users to recommend items to the user. Collaborative filtering builds a model from a user's past behaviour and similar decisions made by other users. The system generates recommendations using only information about rating profiles for different users or items. Collaborative filtering is based on the assumption that people who agreed in the past will agree in the future, and that they will like similar kinds of items as they liked in the past.

3. Knowledge-Based Systems

Specific type of recommender system that uses explicit knowledge about the item assortment, user preferences, and recommendation criteria to generate a recommendation. These systems are applied in scenarios where alternative approaches such as collaborative filtering and content-based filtering cannot be applied. Knowledge-based systems are well suited to complex domains where items are not purchased very often, such as apartments and cars. The main advantage of using a knowledge-based system is that it can factor non-product attributes, such as vendor reliability and product availability, into the recommendation.
