Presentation: TweetModelling Fashion at Wehkamp
Complementing Wehkamp's new website design, based on the Blaze micro-service architecture, a new data platform has been erected. The data lake is already taking on recommendations on the wehkamp site and in marketing e-mails.
In this presentation, we will showcase how we set up this DIY recommendation system. Beyond collaborative filtering methods, we will explain how to provide competitive content-based recommendations in the fashion domain.
