Such a simple system would recommend many items that are frequently bought by everyone (like bread, toilet paper, batteries). You would have to weight the items in some fancy way to get useful recommendations... And I have just described the introducing slides of a applied machine learning university lecture.
- ashelmire 8y agoThis article and thread gives the impression that it’s dominated by people who don’t even have a rudimentary understanding of ML. If they think SQL is a replacement for ML, I’m really not sure what they’re doing in this field. ML is for making sense of data in a large number of ways beyond “hey let’s query a database for some trivial information”.
- reacharavindh 8y agoTrue. I don't think the OP or I deny that. The premise is that some practitioners use ML as an overkill for things that are simple enough to be solved by SQL.
