How does the\nGoogle Play Store pick an app just for you? Magic? No, in both cases, an\nML-based recommendation model determines how similar videos and\napps are to other things you like and then serves up a recommendation.\nTwo kinds of recommendations are commonly used:\n\n- home page recommendations\n- related item recommendations\n\nHomepage recommendations\n------------------------\n\nHomepage recommendations are personalized to a user based on their known\ninterests. Every user sees different recommendations.\n\nIf you go to the Google Play Apps homepage, you may see something like this: \n\nRelated item recommendations\n----------------------------\n\nAs the name suggests, **related items** are recommendations similar to a\nparticular item. In the Google Play apps example, users looking at a page for\na math app may also see a panel of related apps, such as other math or science\napps.\n\nWhy recommendations?\n--------------------\n\nA recommendation system helps users find compelling content in a large corpus.\nFor example, the Google Play Store provides millions of apps, while YouTube\nprovides billions of videos. More apps and videos are added every day. How can\nusers find new and compelling content? Yes, one can use search to access\ncontent. However, a recommendation engine can display items that users might\nnot have thought to search for on their own.\n| **Did you know?**\n|\n| - 40% of app installs on Google Play come from recommendations.\n| - 60% of watch time on YouTube comes from recommendations."]]
