Overview


Strategies allow you to choose the underlying Machine Learning Model that dictates the logic behind various approaches to product recommendations. Powered by several algorithmic decisions, these Models analyze, learn, and discover patterns in customer, product, and contextual data to present every customer with a personalized experience.


Strategies also support configuring business rules on top of the models to alter the recommendation result. For example, you can set a business rule to display trending dresses priced above $50 in the recommendation result.
