Package: SAR Title: Smart Adaptive Recommendations Version: 1.0.4 Authors@R: c( person("Hong", "Ooi", , "hongooi73@gmail.com", role = c("aut", "cre")), person("Microsoft Product Recommendations team", role = "ctb", comment="source for MS sample datasets"), person("Microsoft", role="cph") ) Description: 'Smart Adaptive Recommendations' (SAR) is the name of a fast, scalable, adaptive algorithm for personalized recommendations based on user transactions and item descriptions. It produces easily explainable/interpretable recommendations and handles "cold item" and "semi-cold user" scenarios. This package provides two implementations of 'SAR': a standalone implementation, and an interface to a web service in Microsoft's 'Azure' cloud: . The former allows fast and easy experimentation, and the latter provides robust scalability and extra features for production use.
