Building Recommendations Systems
Recommendations systems are good for matching users to their favorite products and are incredibly popular. In fact you have likely used a recommendation system at least once in your life. For example, Amazon uses recommendation systems to suggest new exciting products to purchase based on users’ previous purchase patterns and those similar users. Netflix also […]
Recurrent Neural Networks in PyTorch
Feed forward networks cannot learn from the past, but Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) can learn by accepting data in a sequence. Examples of applications for RNNs include the text autocomplete feature on your phone and performing language translations. Recurrent Neurons (RNs) act as the building blocks of RNNs. The difference between RNs and feed forward […]
