Model-based collaborative filtering systems
- [Instructor] Turning now to model-based collaborative filtering systems. With these systems you build a model from user ratings, and then make recommendations based on that model. This offers a speed and scalability that's not available when you're forced to refer back to the entire dataset to make a prediction. In the demo for this segment, you're going see truncated singular value decomposition. You're also going to see something called a utility matrix. Utility matrix is also known as user item matrix. These matrices contain values for each user, each item, and the rating each user gave to each item. Another thing to note is that utility matrices are sparse because every user does not review every item. Actually, only a few users provide reviews for a few items. So in these matrices, you're likely to see mostly null values. Before explaining the truncated version, let me explain to you regular singular value decomposition or SVD. SVD is a linear algebra method that you can use to…
