Understand the idea of recommendations based on user attributes.
- [Instructor] If we can fill in all the blanks…in our user review matrix,…we'll know how each user would rate each movie.…Then, we can use that information to recommend movies…that are highly rated.…Let's learn how to complete this matrix by hand,…assuming we have extra information about each user…and each movie.…This will teach us the basic idea…that we'll use to calculate each user's interest…in each movie.…To understand how to predict a user's rating,…let's think about how someone decides…what rating to give a movie.…Every human is unique.…There's probably no way to completely understand…the thought process that went into a certain rating.…
So let's assume that a user's rating…is a reflection of how much a particular movie appeals…to that user's unique set of interests.…This gives us a way to calculate a user's rating.…First, we'll create a model of how much a movie would appeal…to every possible interest.…Then, we'll make a model of a user's specific interests.…Finally, we can calculate the user's rating…based on how well the user's interest matched the movie.…

The systems help drive customer interaction and sales by helping customers discover products and services they might not ever find themselves. The course uses the free, open source tools Python 3.5, pandas, and numpy. By the end of the course, you'll be equipped to use machine learning yourself to solve recommendation problems. What you learn can then be directly applied to your own projects.
