LIGHTFM
Hybrid recommendation library combining content and collaborative filtering
Apache-2.0
ABOUT
Building recommendation systems requires choosing between content-based or collaborative filtering approaches, each with fundamental blind spots — cold-start users have no interaction history, and content-only systems miss serendipitous discoveries. LightFM combines both approaches in a single model, using metadata features to handle cold-start and collaborative signals to uncover hidden patterns.
