Advanced Content Personalization System Using Embedding-Based Retrieval for Media Platforms

The client faces limitations in delivering highly personalized content recommendations due to static filtering models, inability to distinguish nuanced user preferences across diverse media types, and challenges in scaling recommendation accuracy as content variety increases. Existing collaborative filtering approaches are insufficient to capture the semantic relevance necessary for tailored user experience, leading to less engagement and lower conversion rates.
