I need to make a recommendation algorithm for a website. I came up with a very simple way to achieve this, but I wondered if anyone could point me to some literature or something that could help me better understand how other examples were compiled.
I was told about features like collaborative filtering, clustering, and categorization in Apache Mahout, but I don't know how Machine Learning fits into all of this. I can see how to make algorithms for the above (except for Machine Learning), but wondered if anyone knew about anything else that could be added to the mix.
In addition, what would you say, the purpose of the Recommender, how can it function best? Anyone who wants to share a definition?
Thank!
