Gorse Recommender Engine on Ubuntu 24.04

Overview

Gorse is an open source recommender system engine written in Go. You send it users, items and feedback such as clicks, stars or purchases through a REST API, and it returns personalized recommendations for each user, along with item to item and user to user neighbours, session based recommendations and popular or latest non personalized lists as a fallback. Collaborative filtering and content aware ranking run inside a single self contained process, and a built in web dashboard lets you inspect your data, review recommendations and watch the background training tasks.

It suits developers and product teams who want to add recommendations to a website, shop, media library or application and prefer a self hosted engine they run inside their own cloud account, integrated through a simple REST API, rather than a hosted recommendation service.

Common uses

• Add personalized recommendations to a website, shop or media library
• Serve item to item and user to user related content over a REST API
• A self hosted recommendation engine integrated into your own application
