end point for item based recommendation

[ZhiminHeGit]

is it possible to have a RESTFUL api end point that returns a list of items based on one item?
e.g GET /items/{item_id}/recommendations
thank you

I think there are two parts to this.

1. an exposed endpoint for item similarity
2. adding item similarity algorithms

The first is a bit more complex as a new external and internal API would need to be defined to handle item recommendations as opposed to user recommendations.

However, the second is actually probably easier as there are already item similarity examples.
See, http://docs.seldon.io/content-recommendation-example.html

The python code already supports several types of similarity models : gensim_lsi,gensim_lda,gensim_rp,sklearn_nmf

So as a hack you could always build an above document similarity model and serve recommendations by sending in the item_id with any user_id (as it will be ignored)

Okay thanks for response :) , let's archived it!

Can you suggested me where I can start with seldom for recommendation engine?

[ukclivecox]

At Seldon we focus on general ML deployment so you can look at https://github.com/SeldonIO/seldon-core but the model you want to deploy is up to you. We do have many people using it for recommendations though.
