Description
MLOps Coffee Sessions #114 with Marc Lindner, Co-Founder, COO, and Amr Mashlah, Head of Data Science of eezylife Inc., Product Enrichment and Recommender Systems, co-hosted by Skylar Payne.
// Abstract
The difficulties of making multi-modal recommender systems. How can it be easy to know something about a user but very hard to know the same thing about a product and vice versa? For example, you can clearly know that a user wants an intellectual movie, but it is hard to accurately classify a movie as intellectual and fully automated.
