Algorithms of Intelligent Web shows readers how to use the same techniques used by household names such as Google Ad Sense, Netflix, and Amazon to turn raw data into actionable information. Algorithms of Intelligent Web is an example-driven blueprint to create applications that collect, analyze, and act on large amount of data users leave behind them when they use the web. Readers learn to build a Netflix-style recommendation engine, and how to apply the same techniques to social networking sites. All examples are designed either for reuse and to describe a general technique applicable-the algorithm for various scenarios. As they worked through many examples of books, readers learn about recommendation systems, search and ratings, automatic grouping of similar objects, object classification, forecasting models, and autonomous agents.
