Gorse - Self-hosted Recommender System Engine, Written in Go
In the digital age, personalization is king. Whether it's streaming your favorite shows, shopping online, or reading articles, the content you see is often curated just for you. This magic happens through something called a recommendation system—a powerful tool that helps predict what you might like based on your past behavior and preferences.
What is a Recommendation System?
A recommendation system is a software tool that analyzes data to suggest products, services, or content to users. It’s what powers Netflix’s movie suggestions, Amazon’s product recommendations, and Spotify’s playlist creations.
These systems work by sifting through vast amounts of data to identify patterns and preferences, delivering a personalized experience that keeps users engaged.
