This presentation discusses recommender systems and collaborative filtering algorithms. It covers two main types of recommender systems: content-based filtering and collaborative filtering. Content-based filtering uses item attributes and user preferences to recommend similar items, while collaborative filtering relies on user ratings and purchases to find similar users and recommend items they liked. The presentation outlines the key steps and algorithms for each approach, including calculating similarity matrices and using k-nearest neighbors. It also discusses challenges for recommender systems like data sparsity and overfitting.
