"Django E-commerce Web Application with Machine Learning for Recommender Systems"

(Individual Project - Student Defined)

Sponsor: Wai Ho Leung, Phoebe Lam

Faculty Advisor: Min Chen

Abstract: For my capstone project, I implemented a Django E-commerce web application with product recommender systems. In this web application, I implemented all the basic E-commerce features such as a guest/registered user check out, shopping cart, user registration, and add/remove products. Also, this web application can track the user/guest's click activity and save the data to the database and using a user-based collaborative filtering algorithm to compute the similarity user click activity to find users that similar to your activity and then recommend products that you may also like. Through this project, I learned how recommender systems work and there is a different type of recommender systems such as content-based and item-based. Also, I learned how to handle the data and the Django web framework.
