Soovitusmudelitel, often translated as recommendation systems or recommender models, are a type of information filtering system that seeks to predict the "rating" or "preference" a user would give to an item. These systems are widely used across various platforms to personalize user experiences and help users discover content they might like. The core idea is to leverage past user behavior, item characteristics, or a combination of both to make these predictions.

There are several common approaches to building recommendation models. Content-based filtering recommends items similar to those a user liked in the past, based on item attributes. Collaborative filtering, on the other hand, relies on the behavior of other users. User-based collaborative filtering finds users similar to the current user and recommends items they liked, while item-based collaborative filtering finds items similar to those the user liked and recommends those. Hybrid models combine multiple recommendation strategies to overcome the limitations of individual approaches.

The effectiveness of recommendation models is typically measured by metrics such as precision, recall, and accuracy. These systems play a crucial role in e-commerce, streaming services, social media, and news platforms, enhancing user engagement and driving sales or content consumption. Challenges in developing and deploying these models include data sparsity, the cold-start problem (recommending for new users or items), and ensuring diversity and serendipity in recommendations.
