Recommender system: History, Applications, Art & Products

A recommender system, also called a recommendation algorithm, recommendation engine, recommendation platform, or in the context of social media, simply algorithm is a type of information filtering system that suggests items most relevant to a particular user. The value of these systems becomes particularly evident in scenarios where users must select…
