ABOUT THIS CASE STUDY

RECOMMENDATION ENGINE FOR MOVIES: USING DATA TO PROVIDE THE BEST USER EXPERIENCE

Ever wonder how industry giants like Netflix, Spotify and Pandora filter products based on their unique user’s preference? Using data of course! But how do they get that data? By building what is known as a Recommendation Engine – a feature that filters items by predicting how users will rate them – the goal is to connect users to the right items so that they will continue to use products/services.

In this case study, we will focus on Netflix and how they utilize Recommendation Engines to provide the best possible shows and movies for unique users.
