Eugene Yan enhances recommender systems using graph and NLP techniques

Eugene Yan's blog posts detail methods for building recommender systems that outperform baseline matrix factorization models. The approach involves using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, specifically word2vec, to generate vector representations of products based on their relationships. These product embeddings are then used to make recommendations by identifying similar items, drawing inspiration from graph-based learning methods like DeepWalk. AI
