Putting Recommendation Engines to the Test in the Dell EMC AI Innovation Lab

Research at the Dell EMC and Intel HPC and AI Innovation Lab is demonstrating how organizations can build better, faster neural networks to drive recommendation engines. If you go to Netflix to look for the next movie you want to watch, a recommendation engine will give you suggestions tailored to your interests and past viewing experiences. When you visit a website, you're likely to see ads based on your browsing history and past purchases. If you shop on Amazon, you will get all kinds of recommendations based on your purchasing history and the purchasing history of other customers with similar interests. As Amazon explains, "We examine the items you've purchased, items you've told us you own, items you've rated, and items you've told us you like. Based on those interests, we make recommendations."
