**TLDR:** A recommendation method that relies on item features and a user's historical preference profile.

<p>Content-based filtering learns the characteristics of items a user has preferred in the past and recommends new items with similar properties. It is particularly strong when product descriptions, content tags, text features, or visual attributes are available. Its ability to function without relying heavily on dense user interaction data is a major advantage. However, limited recommendation diversity and reduced exploration capability can be disadvantages.</p>
