The science of recommendation systems exemplifies how technology streamlines these various decision-making processes for us. In fact, as Prof. Devavrat Shah (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) suggests, Recommendation systems take into account several statistics and machine learning topics and allow you to build on them. Watch this masterclass for a deep dive into one of the most intriguing technology today.
Agenda for the session
- Intro to Recommendation systems
- Overview of MIT faculty for the ADSP Program
- hands-on projects, & mentorship from industry practitioners
