Glad to hear you're enjoying Findory ...Hi, Daniel. Glad to hear you're enjoying Findory News!<br /><br />To be clear, my objection is to setting up a false dichotomy between CF and ABCM when there are a wide variety of techniques to apply to this particular problem. Furthermore, while I have no a priori bias against ABCM, the claim that ABCM is better than the many other approaches, including forms of CF, on a broad class of problems is not well substantiated. <br /><br />As the last paragraph of my post should make clear, the real issue here is that the algorithm used needs to match the data. As the data changes over time, different techniques may start to perform better. If personalization is to be a competitive advantage for a firm, it can't be an off-the-shelf product that the competition can also buy; it needs to be a custom solution tailored to the company's data and customers.Greg Lindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216403000599463072noreply@blogger.com
