32
Q

What is the main difference between collaborative and content filtering?

A

Collaborative = emphasises user.
Content = emphasises content.

33
Q

What is the cold start problem?

A

Cold start problem is when the system cannot draw any inferences for users or items about which it has not yet gathered sufficient information.

34
Q

Which filtering system suffers from cold start problem?

A

Collaborative = they don’t know who you are like.

35
Q

The case study uses collaborative filtering. What two algorithms does it use to recommend content?

A

K nearest neighbour (K=nn)
Matrix factorisation.

36
Q

What is k nn?

A

stores available cases and new cases based on similarity. Classifying data on what it is similar to.

37
Q

What is k?

A

K refers to the number of cases one is close to so it can decide whether it matches?

38
Q

What type of thing is k?

A

Hyperparameter

39
Q

What is parameter tuning?

A

Choosing the right diameter of k.

40
Q

How does one know if the parameter tuning is correct?

A

Trial and Error

41
Q

What happens if k is too small?

A

Neighbours are too specific = won’t try new things.

42
Q

What happens if k is too big?

A

More work = more expensive = more storage needed.

43
Q

What is matrix factorisation?

A

Breaking down bigger things into smaller ones.

44
Q

How does matrix factorisation work?

A

Uses data of how similar people have rated certain movies and using that to find patterns of how other people will.

45
Q

Example of matrix factorisation.

A

If someone who liked action movies loved the movie with the car. Then someone else who loved action movies might love the movie with the car.

46
Q

What are dependencies?

A

People aren’t completely random they have preferences that can often be patterned,

47
Q

What is good about matrix factorisation?

A

Instead of storing data of everyones individual preferences, You can store people ad preferences and predict it when necessary.
Plus it is easier to teach to training models

48
Q

What is bad about matrix factorisation?

A

Cold start problem = won’t be as accurate until we have data to use.

49
Q

What is cloud computing?

A

Is the storage of data in a servers and databases that can be accessed over the internet.

50
Q

What are the three types of cloud computing models?

A

Cloud deployment models describe the structure of the cloud, what they run through, who runs them, how they run.
IaaS, SaaS and PaaS

51
Q

What is IaaS?

A

On demand computing resources on cloud using infrastructur e, that when paid will allocate more space.

52
Q

What is SaaS?

A

Run through internet e.g. software/browser.

53
Q

What is PaaS?

A

Run through platform.
Dedicated to providing services for apps to run.

54
Q

What are the cons of Infrastructure aaS?

A

Does not have Unique App
Legal limitations
Potential Security flaws.
Doesn’t; work without internet connectivity.

55
Q

What are the cons of Software aaS?

A

Not very flexible
Data stored offsite.
Dependent on server infrastructure.
Compromise for security.

56
Q

What are the cons of Platform aaS?

A

Not very scalable.
Data security to third party ownership.
Your proffered tech stack might not be available.
Transition to PaaS is hard.

57
Q

What cloud computing model gives you the most managing potential?

A

IaaS

58
Q

What cloud computing model gives you the least managing potential?

A

SaaS

59
Q

What is the root mean square error?

A

Measures how much error there is between two data sets.

60
Q

What does the root mean square error let us discover?

A

Evaluate the quality of machine learning predictions.

61
Q

What is online behavioural data?

A

Generated information about you from the things you do online to predict you.

62
Q

What sort of events allow companies to collect online behavioural data?

A

Clicking a link
Watching/reading
Rating an item
user customer service
placing an order
response to adverts/marketing

63
Q

What is behavioural data?

A

What you like and don’t
how you responds
what are you likely to do.

64
Q

What is personal data?

A

Who you are
where you live
who are you related to.

65
Q

What is overfitting?

A

System recommendations are too exact or too close, and may therefore fail to fit to additional data or predict future observations reliably

66
Q

State the two ways to measure a recommender system’s effectiveness

A

Using the click-through rate measures how many people click recommendations. Furthermore, predictive accuracy metrics measures how close a recommender predicted ratings were closer to actual user ratings.

67
Q

Which is the best cloud computing model?

A

PaaS is better because you get the mixture of customisation with outside control, meaning it can be efficient with and without your intervention and still be customisable.

68
Q

What is Fmeasusre?

A

a way to measure how accurate a recommender system is. It takes into account both the system’s recall score and precision score.

69
Q

What does MAE stand for?

A

Mean absolute error

70
Q

What is MAE?

A

the average difference between the observed result and the expected result. Used to measure the accuracy of a recommender system.

71
Q

What is Precision?

A

measures the ratio of correct items identified out of total items identified

72
Q

What is the Stochastic gradient descent?

A

an optimisation algorithm to find the model parameters that correspond to the best fit between predicted and actual outputs.

73
Q

What is cost function?

A

Cost function is a parameter deciding the success of an algorithm based on how many errors there are in each stage by comparing predicted values and actual values.

74
Q

How can NextStar use cost function to improve their algorithm?

A

By using cost function, NextStar can see where the errors are in the system in a way to start error spotting and error solving. It allows the algorithm to become more reliable as the results keep getting checked.

75
Q

Why is IaaS a good cloud computing model?

A

IaaS would be best for NextStar because it is customisable but also helped by server managers. The best of both worlds.

76
Q

What is F-measure or F-score?

A

A combination of two methods of accuracy, precision and recall, which tests the success rate of filtering.

77
Q

Hyperparemeter

A

A hyperparameter is a machine learning parameter whose value is chosen before a learning algorithm is trained.

78
Q

Mean Average Error

A

The mean of the errors of the filtering system.
