Recommending Board Games: Creating a Board Game Recommender System

Program: Data Science Master's
Location: Not Specified (remote)
Student: Timothy W. Decker

The goal of this project was to create a recommender system for board games, using someone’s board game collection. The data was gathered from the largest online board game community called BoardGameGeek. Though the recommender system created in this study is not effective enough to take to the market, a lot of progress was made in creating one that is.
