ML on Recommended for you (Relevant for you widget) EC Pro

[Fin Nguyen]

Hi Community!

How do we know/check if the Machine Learning is enabled or not for the Recommended for you ('Relevant for you' widget) in the EC Portal? is it enabled by default if we have ML and HR Core application are installed?

The other question, in the Instance option of Recommended for you widget, we have Number of similar users used for prediction and Recent activity cut off in days, how do they work and What are they used for?

Thanks!

Hi @Fin Nguyen 

You can have a look into this script include RelevantForYouUtil > RelevantForYouUtilSNC.

At this function getRelevantArticlesAndCatalogs, it call to the getSimilarUsers function. 

Then you will see the condition that checks a plugin is active or not. [com.glide.platform_ml]

Now you know the plugin name, you can search for it and verify whether it's installed or not.

Number of similar users used for prediction [user_prediction_count]: is the param above userPredictionCount of the function getSimilarUsers. => topN: gets the topN similar profiles => the system uses the top [number] ML predictions that have the highest prediction confidence score.

Recent activity cut off in days: is the param recentActivityCutoffDate, which is eventually calling to the function 

getRequestItems in the UserRecommendationUtilSNC script include. => it will be the number of days to the past that we will apply for the articles and requested item query.
