Recommender Systems Origin Story

Data Skeptic

About this episode

Where did recommender systems come from, and how do we know when they're actually working? In part one of Data Skeptic's three-part Recommender Systems finale, Kyle traces the field from collaborative filtering and the Netflix Prize to matrix factorization and modern approaches, while exploring why accuracy alone can't capture what makes a recommendation useful, surprising, or meaningful.
