Music recommendation engine using ALS based Matrix factorization

According to a new report released by Nielsen Music, on an average, Americans now spend just slightly more than 32 hours a week listening to music. This is a staggering 36% increase in 2 years. With such a tremendous growth in the music industry, it becomes crucial to deliver personalized music recommendation to the listeners.

We achieved a ~90% AUC for ~40,000 users and ~100,000 artists.
