Recommendation System | Collaborative & Content Filtering

[@TheKmisra]

I think it should be noted that for the cold start problem, you'd want to use content filtering to define which users to show those new items to - hence, a combination of content and collaborative filtering is the best approach.

[@aswinnath8580]

an hybrid approach

And then there is Amazon asking me to buy a second washing machine.

[@zeikjt]

Some products really need a "people usually buy only one at a time" tag. Refrigerators, cars, houses...

[@Flankymanga]

Wait a minute... hey Thats basically amazon telling you "Hey your washing machine is about to go out of service wanna buy a new one just in case?"

[@owendavies8227]

Amazon uses "customers that bought this also like" and similar simple algorithms. Nothing complicated or sophisticated. They work just fine.

[@carkod]

People are terrified at the thought of machines taking over, but actually the algorithms being used in AI and recommendation system are just as inacurate as a friend's recommendation.

[@ryanmckenzie1990]

I love all the artistic choices you guys make when putting these videos together, they have a spacious mood to them. It’s a little sad to read other viewers don’t like the music choice as much, each to their own I guess.

[@ArtOfTheProblem]

I get that a lot, it's nice to hear from both sides that the mood 'works'

[@steffengroenandersen]

@@ArtOfTheProblem I found it distracting - I thinbk it is simply to high to be "background music". I paused the video several times because I was doing something else in the mean time and I thought another video started or something.

The name I learnt this as in Uni was Singular Value Decomposition. Same thing, different names. Great video as usual!

[@roadmonitoroz]

Interesting video. I downloaded my netflix data once. It is amazing how much data they actually collect . One of the bits they collect is how long you watch each video (whether the actual movie) or the preview clip on the movie selection screen. i.e. If you watch the whole thing, you are somewhat interested in it and "that type of movie". It also logs what suggestions it gave to you and why that suggestion was given (due to another video) . It also collects search terms (full / partial) and what results were given to you. i.e. You type "term" and up comes "Terminator 1,2,3" , "The terminal" (totally different type of movie)

[@mnamaddy]

how did you download your netflix data?

[@KenCubed]

I am a mathematics phd student doing my thesis on low-rank matrix completion, it was great seeing this video show up in my feed! One of my biggest concerns was why we can assume that real life data is part of a low-rank matrix. Even though data being non-random and part of a low-dimensional space is a very reasonable assumption, the issue is that the space of low rank matrices is a very specific low-dimensional space, so why should we assume that our data lies on this specific low dimensional space? The features argument seems fair to me as why it may be reasonable to assume that our data is low-rank.

[@ArtOfTheProblem]

It's a great question. I'm currently working on a video on manifold hypothesis that gets at this question a little deeper. Would love to hear other's thoughts

[@lucacaccistani9636]

That's very interesting, I like the field of prediction/compression/NMF fact a lot. Do you have some references or papers on the subject you mentioned ? How do you define real life data ?

[@KenCubed]

@@lucacaccistani9636 Here is a paper on matrix completion that describes the alternating projection method, and some theoretical results using algebraic geometry: arxiv.org/abs/1711.02151 By real life data I mean data that comes from real life, such as an image or the incomplete user ratings in the netflix problem. Given unknown positions of a matrix, it's easy to find a partially complete matrix which can be completed to a rank r matrix. Just generate a rank r matrix then delete entries in the unknown indices, then we know the resulting incomplete matrix has a rank r completion. If we choose the known entries of a partially complete matrix randomly from a continuous distribution, then often times there will exist a rank r completion with probability 0, or there will be infinitely many rank r completions. However, it is assumed that our data lies on some low dimensional space, so choosing random known entries may not be a good model for real data.

[@dmc-au]

In reverse, doesn't the utility of the approximation (people do seem to like the recommendations) provide some clue that there is a lower-dimensional manifold useful for the purpose of estimating *specifically* the preferences of people regarding movies? Also, if true randomness provides maximum information, and for the most part people's movie preferences, and movies themselves, are far from random, doesn't that also imply that there will be a useful, lower-dimensional manifold? All while keeping in mind that the movies people make and the movies that people watch are reflections of each other: people make movies that other people want to watch, and people only watch what movies people make.

[@ArtOfTheProblem]

this is what I assume (low-dimensional manifold)@@dmc-au

Very interesting!! I would love to see more videos on this topic. I would guess that the amount of features can be increased in order to have a more accurate result, at the expense of greater computing power and storage requirements.

[@ArtOfTheProblem]

yes, exactly (same as making a neural network wider)

[@nezv71]

Not necessarily more accurate though, due to a phenomenon called overfitting: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overfitting?wprov=sfla1

[@malchicken]

Love the video, thank you, great explanation. I wonder if I’m the only one who finds the music a bit...creepy or disturbing....or, maybe that’s intended. Rewatching, I see that may be my fault for watch at 2x speed.

[@hantuchblau]

It's worth noting that the patterns in data don't always mirror reality. People with asthma and copd check earlier with the doctor when they have trouble breathing. So an ann would predict that people with asthma are at lower risk when catching pneumonia and schedule them accordingly. These problems are frustratingly hard to find. Most approaches to make answers interpretable seem to be about learning a linear local approximation of the machine model, which works reasonably well on convolutional networks.

"The things that are recommended to you are based on patterns the machine has observed in other people that are similar to yourself" It would be interesting to take this to the next step of analysis.. what happens when the recommendations the machine gives start to have an actual tangible affect on the people being given the recommendations?

that's just to normalize the data, so you take the largest

Do we use classifiers in collaborative filtering?

[@lucacaccistani9636]

Not really, no. There is always some sort of classifying being done but in this case not in the way you mean it, I think. In this approach we decide (by hand or algorithmically, but always beforehand) that we are going to reduce the data space to a smaller space of dimension k. Choosing k is often difficult. Then, the main algorithm converges to the optimal representation, that is, the space of dimension k that represents the best the data space. You can look up NMF factorization, k-means clustering or even PCA (the last one doesn't has a k and tends to over-fit, in the end you have the same problem of choosing when you stop, hence choosing k..)

what is background song name?

[@qzwxecrv0192837465]

Recommendation algorithms don't have enough actually useful data. What do I mean by that? First, they recommend things based on what you have watched, assuming you are interested in that topic. For example, I may click on a random video about a bass player or bass guitar style.....then my feed is full of bass guitar channels. NO, I was curious about the video, but I don't want bass channels. Also, they don't take a good survey of the person's tastes. for example, Netflix could have a customer take a "what do you like" survey, 4 or 5 pages of 20 - 30 various movies, shows, etc, have the customer pick 8-10 on each page. Essentially sprinkle in enough variety on each page to get a more accurate read on their tastes. Netflix suggestions are usually 50% wrong for me. I would love if they would allow a "don't recommend" option along with like, don't like, etc so it never shows up again in the normal lists. Grapes of wrath and Annie Hall are NOT on any list I would ever create. ahhahaha. would also be great if we could exclude specific actors, directors, etc to keep them from the list as well, considering I can't stand Will Ferrell.
