In the first quarter of 2026 I finished the "Children of Dune", which left me somewhat dissapointed in the series. I wanted to find something new, yet similar - this is how I thought of creating a book recommender website. I also love the idea of using my work experience with the recommendation systems, ha-ha!

This website allows you to search for a book by title, then explore similar titles recommended by a collaborative-filtering model trained on Goodreads interaction data. Each recommendation carousel is generated by the Matrix Factorization (ALS) model and can be expanded further by clicking on any result.

I plan to add more models in the future.
