You are at the right place to know the ABCs of a recommendation engine. Something that we take for granted, has so much going on behind, it’s impressive to say the least! Are you confused about what a recommendation system actually does? What are applications and examples of a recommendation system? 

Well, in layman terms, in this highly eventful world, each person looks for accurate information in order to complete his or her task without wasting a single moment. Whether it’s watching a movie, listening to music, buying clothes or home accessories from online sites, getting precise or relevant contents or products as per usage or relevancy, according to users’ preference, saves time and boosts user engagement. And that’s what a recommendation engine does. It suggests users with their favorite movies, music or products and services according to their likes and dislikes. 

 

What is a Recommendation System?

A recommendation system provides users with personalized experience in buying online products or services. It offers recommendations to handle the ever-increasing online information overload issues and boost customer relationship management.

Recommendation engine makes an effort to suggest the most suitable products, services or contents to any particular user or users by calculating their interest based on their behaviors. If I were to put it in marketing terms, the recommendation engine is a clever salesman who knows the customer’s taste, style, and thus wins the game by showcasing the perfect product or service to the customer that they would prefer to buy. 

Some of the great examples of recommendation engine usages are:

  • Facebook – It recommends you under the section – “People You May Know”
  • Netflix – It recommends you under the section – “Other Movies You May Enjoy”
  • LinkedIn – It helps you find right jobs under the section – “Jobs You May Be Interested In”
  • Amazon – it helps suggests products under the section – “Inspired by your shopping trends”
  • YouTube – It helps suggests videos under the section – “Recommended Videos”

 

What does a recommendation engine do?

With the ever evolving era of data explosion, it’s more relevant to scan through high quantity data. Recommendation System acts as a great tool for filtering and ensuring the consumer gets the recommendation according to his/her taste, style and preferences. The less time a customer spends searching for the right data on your website the more a customer stays at your website. A Good Recommendation Engine must be able to act in a very dynamic environment.
