Film rental recommender

This repository implements a recommender system microservice on top of an example database of film rentals. The recommender is accessible as an API via the browser.

The recommender is a basic collaborative filtering method based on latent semantic analysis - a truncated singular value decomposition of a TFiDF transformed customer-rental matrix.

Note that the results are nonsensical because the data is just an example database, but the method should in principle work!
