Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll create a recommendation engine for an online store using the Fast.ai library. You’ll utilize a dot product and a neural network to come up with the latent factors in a rating matrix, and compare and contrast them to determine which is likely to deliver the best recommendations. You’ll need to select and clean your data, pick the right methods, then create the functions that you need to recommend products based on predicted ratings.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
