EXISTING SYSTEM
1. Basic Recommendation Algorithms: Relies on simple recommendation algorithms with limited
capacity to understand individual user preferences and provide tailored product suggestions.
2. Static Recommendations: Offers static product recommendations without the capability to adjust
in real-time based on user interactions and preferences.
3. Limited Data Analysis: Provides recommendations based on basic user data without leveraging
advanced data analytics or natural language processing techniques for in-depth user insights.
4. Lack of Scalability: Struggles to handle large datasets and peak traffic, leading to potential delays
and inconsistencies in providing product recommendations.
5. Ethical Concerns: Lacks robust measures for addressing ethical considerations such as
algorithmic bias and user privacy, potentially impacting user trust and transparency.

Conclusion
• Developing a product recommendation system using Python offers a powerful way to enhance customer
engagement and increase sales.

• Python's rich ecosystem of libraries, such as pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn, makes it well-suited for
implementing various recommendation algorithms, including collaborative filtering, content-based
filtering, and hybrid approaches.

• Leveraging machine learning techniques, such as matrix factorization, nearest neighbor methods, and
deep learning models, allows for the creation of accurate and personalized recommendations.

• This works best if a business is setting up its e-commerce website for the first time and does not have
user-item purchase/rating history to start with initially.

• This recommendation system will help the users get a good recommendation to start with and once the
buyers have a purchased history, the recommendation engine can use the model based collaborative
filtering technique
