Recommendation Systems.

Online users display a certain type of preference or pattern. Whether they are shopping online or watching a video clip, they constantly click on things or press LIKE. Such actions are accumulated and allow platform operators to get a sense of what users like or dislike.

Meanwhile, recommendation systems filter user data and use predetermined algorithms that seek to predict the preference of a user. They are primarily used in applications for commercial use. These systems can operate using a single input, like musci, or multiple inputs within and across platforms like news, books, and search words.

These recommendation systems are utilized in a whole array of areas. They are used in playlist generators for video and music services, product recommenders for online shopping malls, or content recommenders for social media platforms. They are also commonly used for specific targeting purposes such as online dating.

These systems build an algorithms from a user's past behavior. They use information based on items previously purchased or selected as well as similar decisions made by other users. This model is then used to predict items that the user may have an interest in or recommend additional items that have similar properties. Many applications these days typically combine one or more algorithms into a hybrid system.
