An open question

If you want to buy a pair of trousers in a shop, what kinds of suggestions will you get?

non-personalized recommendation

Non-personalized recommendations are identical for each user.

The recommendations are often based on the popularity of items (e.g. average ratings, sales data). Maybe the clerk

advises you to buy some popular trousers

Content-based recommendation

Content-based recommendation methods use the information about item features and the ratings auser has given to items.

The technique combines these ratings to a profile of the user’s interests basedon the features of the rated items.

Maybe the clerk advises you to buy some trousers according to your styles and preferences
