Installation

Jupyter Notebooks require a 'data' directory with CSV data files available from the Udacity Data Science Nanodegree course: https://www.udacity.com/course/data-scientist-nanodegree--nd025.

There should be no necessary libraries to run the code here beyond the Anaconda distribution of Python. The code should run with no issues using Python versions 3.*. If I missed some package please let me know to, so I will be able to clarify it here.

Project Motivation

This project is a show of my understanding of recomenndation algorithms based on the interactions between users and articles in IBM Watson (https://www.ibm.com/watson).

File Descriptions

There is only one notebook that was used to solve all of the project questions and accompanying html file generated by that notebook. *.p files are the pickle files that were used by the notebook to load data to verify of the cells. The project_test.py is a file provided by Udacity to run test on some of the cells to confirm the results.
