Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a user-item matrix with 100 rows (users) and 50 columns (items). If there's an average of only 2 interactions per user, discuss the implications of sparsity.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how the limited interactions impact decision-making.
Question 2
Design a hybrid recommender system that addresses the sparsity problem using matrix factorization and collaborative filtering. Describe how these techniques would work together.
💡 Hint: Consider how each technique can fill in the gaps left by the other.
