Beyond Souks & Stereotypes: K-Means & Fuzzy Magic Personalize Moroccan Recommendations
I'm thrilled to share my talk, "Beyond Souks & Stereotypes: K-Means & Fuzzy Magic Personalize Moroccan Recommendations." I understand you might have questions about the title, and I want to assure you it's not just a catchy phrase. It's the essence of my mission: to delve into the soul of Moroccan data, not with stereotypes, but with powerful tools like K-Means and Fuzzy C-Means.
Imagine me navigating the bustling Marrakech souks, not just admiring the trinkets, but analyzing customer behavior with K-Means, uncovering hidden clusters of preferences. Then, I'll sprinkle in the magic of Fuzzy C-Means, embracing the "both/and" of Moroccan tastes, not forcing them into rigid categories. This way, we'll create personalized recommendations that feel as unique and vibrant as a Moroccan spice blend.
My goal isn't just to impress with algorithms, but to empower Moroccans with AI that understands their nuances. Picture tourists discovering hidden gems recommended not by stereotypes, but by their fuzzy, individual dreams. Think of students learning with personalized plans that cater to their diverse passions, not just textbook categories. And imagine Moroccans across regions connecting over shared interests, identified not by rigid labels, but by the delicate touch of Fuzzy C-Means.
