Memory-based Collaborative Filtering
Memory-based collaborative filtering computes similarities between
users or items and predicts a new rating for an item by taking the
weighted average of ratings from the similar group

searches other items that
those users also liked

Two types:
- User-based collaborative filtering
- Item-based collaborative filtering

Learned how to code these two systems in

Python
