Virtual Lunch & Learn: Making recommendations with Rust and Tensorflow

On Tuesday, March 23, we hosted another great session of the Virtual Lunch & Learn, where we had the pleasure to host Filip Bielejec who gave a broad overview of Recommendation Systems as well as provided a practical example of how Collaborative Filtering (CF) can be utilized to implement one of these engines.

Filip Bielejec is a freelance software engineer who’s been designing and building computer systems and programs in various applications for different industries. He has authored OpenSource software for geo-awareness in epidemiology, co-developed high-performance library for highly-parallel processors and worked on systems for navigation and map-data solutions as well as healthcare and insurance.
