Wineout aims to democratize knowledge and appreciation of wine through the use of technology. Their initialx000D
effort in this area was a game-based app intended for non-expert wine drinkers, but this requires an initialx000D
understanding of wine characteristics that is beyond the knowledge of most consumers. To further advancex000D
Wineout's mission, the present project was formulated between the company and university to design andx000D
prototype development of a recommendation system for wines that begins with limited user data, and overx000D
time, becomes tailored to the individual consumer's tastes and profiles of similar users. The objective is notx000D
only to offer recommendations that the user is likely to enjoy, but also to help educate users as to specificx000D
characteristics of the wines. Much of this project can be viewed as a conventional machine learning challenge,x000D
but there is an arguably even more important component that relates to the user experience. Thus, significantx000D
effort will be allocated to gaining an understanding of how the target audience for the app currently makes theirx000D
wine selections, and ensuring that the app supports existing habits.
