Course Design: Modern Visual Recommender Systems

Abstract

I have worked in the data industry for over seven years and had the privilege of designing, building, and deploying two recom-mender systems (RecSys) that went on to serve millions of cus-tomers across Southeast Asia. As technology evolved, so does RecSys. However, courses teaching RecSys are still very academic. I will develop an industry-focused, project-based, visual course to teach data scientists RecSys using modern tools.
