Recommendation systems can be defined as programmes, tools and techniques used for purpose of providing suggestions to users of online shopping sites such as Amazon and sites for watching movies and videos such as YouTube, as well as social networking sites.
The recommendation systems depend primarily on feedback information that is collected from users, and this information is either explicit as customer evaluations of products or is collected implicitly through monitoring the behaviour of users within the sites.
