Start with "Creating a Content-Based Recommendation System," where you'll learn to analyze item features, preprocess data, and create personalized recommendations using Python and pandas. This foundational project equips you with the skills to tailor recommendations based on user preferences.
Move on to "Build Netflix-like Recommendation Systems with Sklearn," which introduces both popularity-based and content-based filtering. Dive into similarity computation techniques like K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) while exploring movie features such as genres and types.
Advance to "Build Recommendation Systems using Collaborative Filtering," where you’ll master user-user and item-item similarity techniques. Discover how collaborative filtering leverages shared user behavior to deliver highly personalized recommendations.
Explore the world of personalization with "Find Your Best Bottle of Wine with NLP," a project where you'll use a wine dataset, extract insightful features, and leverage Hugging Face Transformers to create embeddings. Build a visual search explorer and recommendation system that matches user tastes with the perfect wine.
Dive into clustering and visualization with "Mastering NLP and Clustering: Find Best Courses Like a Pro." Preprocess text, vectorize it using BERT embeddings, and cluster data with K-means to discover similar courses. Visualize clusters in 2D and 3D and create a search and recommendation engine to match user interests.
Step into advanced natural language processing with "Perfume Recommendation with Sentence-BERT." Use Sentence-BERT embeddings and semantic similarity metrics to develop sophisticated, text-based recommendation systems, enabling tailored personalization.
Explore probabilistic clustering and segmentation with "Building Recommender Systems with Gaussian Mixture Model." This project introduces unsupervised learning techniques, empowering you to identify hidden patterns, segment users, and deliver highly targeted recommendations.
Culminate your learning with "Build Your Movie Recommender with Django," where you’ll create a full-stack application that integrates everything you've learned. Build a system that stores user watch history, generates personalized movie recommendations, and showcases your ability to design and deploy a complete recommendation solution.
By the end of this learning path, you’ll have mastered the techniques, tools, and frameworks needed to design, build, and deploy effective recommendation systems. Whether you're enhancing user experiences, driving business decisions, or tackling real-world challenges, this journey will empower you to create solutions that truly resonate and leave a lasting impact.
