In this episode, Ian Knowles and Harry Berg discuss recommendation systems or recommender systems, which are AI applications designed to suggest relevant items to users based on their behavior. They provide examples of recommendation systems in social media, search engines, and various applications. The hosts explain that recommendation systems are powered by deep learning and neural networks, which analyze user data to make predictions about what content or products they are likely to engage with. They also discuss the two main types of recommendation systems: content-based and profile-based. The hosts address concerns about data privacy and clarify that while some basic information may be shared when logging in with Google or Facebook, the data used for recommendations is typically collected within the platform itself. Recommendation systems, powered by AI algorithms, play a crucial role in our daily lives by helping us find relevant content and products. These systems save us time and effort by narrowing down choices based on our preferences and past behavior. They protect us from harmful content by ranking it negatively. The algorithm behind recommendation systems is essentially a sophisticated recommendation system that assigns a probability of engagement to each piece of content based on historical usage. The algorithm constantly changes based on user behavior and economic interests of the platform. Content and users are represented as high-dimensional vectors, or embeddings, which are used to find similar content or users.
