Deploying a Multistage Multimodal Recommender System on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service
The article discusses the deployment of a multistage multimodal recommender system on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service. It outlines the architecture and components involved in building a scalable and adaptive recommendation system for an ecommerce platform. Key features include data preparation, model training, and real-time recommendation updates.
- ▪The recommender system consists of four main stages: candidate generation, Bloom filter application, scoring, and final reranking.
- ▪The design is tailored for an ecommerce platform that requires quick and context-aware recommendations for both registered and anonymous users.
- ▪The system utilizes Kubeflow pipelines for preprocessing workflows and daily fine-tuning of models.
