This thesis investigates how recommendation systems has been used and can be used with the help of different machine learning algorithms. Algorithms used and presented are decision tree, random forest and singular-value decomposition(SVD). Together with Tingstad, we have tried to implement the SVD function on their recommendation engine in order to enhance the recommendation given. A trivial presentation on how the algorithms work. General information about machine learning and how we tried to implement it with Tingstad’s data. Implementations with Netflix’s and Movielens open-source dataset was done, estimated with RMSE and MAE.
