Concept name
Recommendation Systems : Collaborative Filtering vs Content-Based Filtering
What is this concept?
This storyboard explains the two most common recommendation system techniques used in machine learning: Collaborative Filtering and Content-Based Filtering. It visually demonstrates how platforms like Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, and Amazon recommend movies, songs, videos, or products to users.
Why does it matter?
Recommendation systems are one of the most widely used real-world applications of AI. Beginners interact with them every day but rarely understand how they work behind the scenes. This storyboard helps learners intuitively understand how AI personalizes recommendations based on user behaviour and item similarity.
Target audience
