The Real Cost of Over-Engineering Product Recommendation Engines

Stop over-engineering your e-commerce store. Many developers try to force deep learning into WooCommerce product recommendation engines when simple gradient-boosted trees or optimized ranking logic would perform better. Ahmad Wael explains why you need to understand catalog stability and preference subjectivity before choosing your machine learning architecture.
