Photo Based Gallery Recommendations

Similarity algorithms and Label Propagation overview

In this section you will use the Label Propagation algorithm to recommend photos.

Useful Resources

Exercise

  1. In Neo4j Browser, perform the steps in the Neo4j Browser guide section Photo Recommendations. (:play applied_graph_algorithms/05_photo_recommendations.html)

  2. In CodeSandbox, edit the FETCH_PHOTO_RECOMMENDATIONS Cypher query in src/exercises/exercise4.js to recommend businesses whose photos belong to the same community.

  3. Save this file.

  4. In the CodeSandbox Browser, click Photos and select five random photos. Then the application presents restaurants based upon the photos selected.
