Deep learning-based recommender systems are the secret ingredient behind personalized online experiences and powerful decision support tools in retail, entertainment, healthcare, finance, and other industries.
Recommender systems work by understanding the preferences, previous decisions, and other characteristics of many people. For example, recommenders can predict the types of movies an individual will enjoy based on the movies they’ve previously watched and the languages they understand. Training a neural network to generalize this mountain of data and quickly provide specific recommendations for similar individuals or situations requires massive amounts of computation, which can be accelerated dramatically by GPUs. Organizations seeking to provide more delightful user experiences, deeper engagement with their customers, and better informed decisions can realize tremendous value by applying properly designed and trained recommender systems.
This workshop covers the fundamental tools and techniques for building highly effective recommender systems, as well as how to deploy GPU-accelerated solutions for real-time recommendations.

Assessment type:


Skills-based coding assessments evaluate students’ ability to debug and correct production-quality recommendation pipelines.

Certificate:


Upon successful completion of the assessments, participants will receive an NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute certificate to recognize their subject matter competency and support professional career growth
