Dear professor Luis,

I hope you are doing well.

Recommender techniques.
Ans: Reddit uses various techniques including hybrid recommender.

Reddit:
 Collaborative Filtering: Recommending movies and shows based on the viewing patterns
of users with similar tastes.

 Content-Based Filtering: Recommending content based on the attributes (genre, director,


cast) of previously watched titles.

 Trending Content (Non-personalized): Giving recommendations based on what’s trending


in the news

Domain News, Information, Discussion, social media

Purpose of Recommendation Build a community around content, discussion on topics. provide


relevant posts and discussions, increase user engagement

Recommendation Context Users interact with content by posting, commenting, voting, and
subscribing to subreddits. Content is based on individual or group
interests, with interactions driving recommendations

Whose Opinion People like us, normal users, Community-driven


(upvotes/downvotes, comments)

Personalization Level Demographic (based on subreddit preferences)

Privacy and Trustworthiness Medium risk (due to user-generated content and potential privacy
concerns from posts)

Interfaces Explicit (upvotes, comments, posts) and implicit (viewing history,


engagement with content)

Recommendation Algorithm Non-personalized (based on popular posts or trending content),


Content-based Filtering (posts similar to ones a user engaged with),
Collaborative Filtering (subreddit or user-based recommendations
based on similar behaviors)
Spotify

 Collaborative Filtering: Personalized music recommendations based on users with similar


listening patterns.

 Content-Based Filtering: Recommending songs based on genres, artists, or specific


attributes of the music.

 Demographic-based Filtering: Spotify also uses demographic information to recommend


playlists or music that is popular among users from similar age groups, regions, or other
demographic segments.

Domain Music, Audio Streaming, Listening to podcast

Purpose of Recommendation Recommend music based on listening behavior, liked songs, and
playlists. Increase engagement by suggesting new music and related
artists.

follow artists. Interactions like skips, plays, and added favorites
influence recommendations.
Whose Opinion People like us, end users (normal ) (listeners with similar music
tastes), Experts (music curators, playlists) or artist
Personalization Level Persistent (playlist history, music taste) (recently listened songs,
new discoveries)
Privacy and Trustworthiness Medium risk (music preferences, listening behavior, and personal
data are collected for recommendations)
Interfaces Explicit (song ratings, playlist creation) and implicit (listening
history, skips, shares)
Recommendation Algorithm Collaborative Filtering (recommendations based on users with
similar listening history), Content-based Filtering
(recommendations based on genre, artist, or song characteristics)
Netflix:

content based on viewing history, genre preferences, and interaction
with similar users.

tastes, ratings, or watchlists)
