I’ve written before about how much I enjoyed Andrew Ng’s Coursera Machine Learning course. However, I also mentioned that I thought the course to be lacking a bit in the area of recommender systems. After learning basic models for regression and classification, recommmender systems likely complete the triumvirate of machine learning pillars for data science.
Working at an ecommmerce company, I think a lot about recommender systems and would like to provide an introduction to basic recommendation models.
