Then one rainy evening it suggested a documentary about deep-sea fish that I never would have searched for — and I was hooked for two hours. That's when I realized: the algorithm was smarter than my own intuition. In this blog, I want to break down exactly how these systems work, from the math behind them to the real-world engineering powering the platforms I use every day. 01 — What Are Recommendation Systems? The ...
