E-Commerce AI Recommendation Engine
Real-time, personalized product recommendation system for a large-scale e-commerce platform. A hybrid approach combining user behavior data and product features.
Challenge
Generating real-time recommendations with 2 million daily active users, solving the cold start problem, and maintaining recommendation diversity were the biggest challenges.
Solution
We designed a hybrid model architecture combining collaborative and content-based methods. Reduced latency below 15ms with Redis-based caching. Added a popularity-based fallback mechanism for new users.
Highlights
Hybrid recommendation model design and implementation
Real-time data streaming architecture (Kafka + Redis)
Continuous model improvement with A/B testing infrastructure
Smart fallback mechanism for cold start problem
