Self-Learning Techniques for Recommendation Engines

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Describing novel mathematical concepts for recommendation engines, Realtime Data Mining: Toward the Self-Learning Recommendation Engine features a sound mathematical framework unifying approaches based on control and learning theories, tensor factorization, and hierarchical methods. Furthermore, it presents promising results of numerous experiments on real-world data.? The area of real-time data mining is currently developing at an exceptionally dynamic pace, and real-time data mining systems are the counterpart of today's "classic" data mining systems. Whereas the latter learn from historical data and then use it to deduce necessary actions, real-time analytics systems learn and act continuously and autonomously. In the vanguard of these new analytics systems are recommendation engines. They are principally found on the Internet, where all information is available in real-time and an immediate feedback is guaranteed.

This monograph appeals to computer scientists and specialists in machine learning, especially from the area of recommender systems, because it conveys a new way of real-time thinking by considering recommendation tasks as control-theoretic problems. Realtime Data Mining: Toward the Self-Learning Recommendation Engine will also interest application-oriented mathematicians because it consistently combines some of the most promising mathematical areas, namely control theory, multilevel approximation, and tensor factorization.
