class='header-anchors'>Introduction</h2><p>In this demo, we will show you how 
to build a Tinder-style web application (named &quot;Tapster&quot;) 
recommending comics to users based on their likes/dislikes of episodes 
interactively.</p><p>The demo will use <a 
href="https://predictionio.incubator.apache.org/templates/similarproduct/quickstart/";>Similar
 Product Template</a>. Similar Product Template is a great choice if you want 
to make recommendations based on immediate user activities or for new users 
with limited history. It uses MLLib Alternating Least Squares (ALS) 
recommendation algorithm, a <a 
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recommender_system#Collaborative_filtering";>Collaborative
 filtering</a> (CF) algorithm commonly used for recommender systems. These 
techniques aim 
 to fill in the missing entries of a user-item association matrix. Users and 
products are described by a small set of latent factors that can be used to 
predict missing entries. A layman&#39;s interpretation of Collaborative 
Filtering is &quot;People who like this comic, also like these 
comics.&quot;</p><p>All the code and data is on GitHub at: <a 
href="https://github.com/PredictionIO/Demo-Tapster";>github.com/PredictionIO/Demo-Tapster</a>.</p><h3
 id='data' class='header-anchors'>Data</h3><p>The source of the data is from <a 
href="http://tapastic.com/";>Tapastic</a>. You can find the data files <a 
href="https://github.com/PredictionIO/Demo-Tapster/tree/master/data";>here</a>.</p><p>The
 data structure looks like this:</p><p><a 
href="https://github.com/PredictionIO/Demo-Tapster/blob/master/data/episode_list.csv";>Episode
 List</a> <code>data/episode_list.csv</code></p><p><strong>Fields:</strong> 
episodeId | episodeTitle | episodeCategories | episodeUrl | 
episodeImageUrls</p><p>1,000 rows. E
 ach row represents one episode.</p><p><a 
href="https://github.com/PredictionIO/Demo-Tapster/blob/master/data/user_list.csv";>User
 Like Event List</a> 
<code>data/user_list.csv</code></p><p><strong>Fields:</strong> userId | 
episodeId | likedTimestamp</p><p>192,587 rows. Each row represents one user 
like for the given episode.</p><p>The tutorial has four major steps:</p> <ul> 
<li>Demo application setup</li> <li>PredictionIO installation and setup</li> 
<li>Import data into database and PredictionIO</li> <li>Integrate demo 
application with PredictionIO</li> </ul> <h2 id='tapster-demo-application' 
class='header-anchors'>Tapster Demo Application</h2><p>The demo application is 
built using Rails.</p><p>You can clone the existing application with:</p><div

class='header-anchors'>Introduction</h2><p>In this demo, we will show you how 
to build a Tinder-style web application (named &quot;Tapster&quot;) 
recommending comics to users based on their likes/dislikes of episodes 
interactively.</p><p>The demo will use <a 
href="https://predictionio.apache.org/templates/similarproduct/quickstart/";>Similar
 Product Template</a>. Similar Product Template is a great choice if you want 
to make recommendations based on immediate user activities or for new users 
with limited history. It uses MLLib Alternating Least Squares (ALS) 
recommendation algorithm, a <a 
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recommender_system#Collaborative_filtering";>Collaborative
 filtering</a> (CF) algorithm commonly used for recommender systems. These 
techniques aim to fill in the missing entries of a user-item association 
matrix. Users and products are described by a small 
 set of latent factors that can be used to predict missing entries. A 
layman&#39;s interpretation of Collaborative Filtering is &quot;People who like 
this comic, also like these comics.&quot;</p><p>All the code and data is on 
GitHub at: <a

 data structure looks like this:</p><p><a

<li>Demo application setup</li> <li>PredictionIO installation and setup</li> 
<li>Import data into database and PredictionIO</li> <li>Integrate demo 
application with PredictionIO</li> </ul> <h2 id='tapster-demo-application'

PredictionIO is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software 
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of 
all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the 
infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in 
a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status 
is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, 
it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the 
ASF.</span></div></div></div><div id="footer-bottom"><div
