🚀 Course Headline: Master Collaborative Filtering for Personalized Movie Recommendations!

🎉 Introduction: Welcome to the world of Artificial Intelligence where understanding user preferences and making informed recommendations is key. In today's digital age, recommender systems are a cornerstone of personalized user experience across platforms, from Netflix to Amazon. This course will take you on an exciting journey into the realm of Python, focusing on the implementation of collaborative filtering for movie recommendation systems.

📚 Course Description: Recommender systems have revolutionized the way we interact with content online. They're everywhere—from movies and music to products and services—constantly learning and suggesting what you might like next. Have you ever marveled at how Netflix suggests films that seem to be tailored just for you? That's the magic of a recommender system at work!

In this comprehensive guide, Jones Granaty will lead you through the intricacies of creating your very own recommendation algorithm from scratch in Python. You'll gain a solid foundation in both the theoretical aspects and practical implementations of collaborative filtering techniques.

🔍 Key Features:

• Understanding Recommender Systems: Dive into the world of personalized recommendations and explore how they enhance user experience.
• Collaborative Filtering Techniques: Learn about both user-based and item-based filtering, and see how they can be applied to real-world data.
• Hands-On Implementation: Get your hands dirty by implementing the collaborative filtering algorithm step by step. You'll perform all mathematical calculations necessary to understand the core mechanics of the system.
• Practical Application: Test your implementation with a small dataset, and then challenge yourself with the robust MovieLens dataset, which contains over 100,000 instances.
• Library Utilization: After mastering the algorithm from scratch, discover how to leverage two powerful pre-built libraries: LibRecommender and Surprise. These libraries will streamline your process and allow you to scale your recommendations.
