Timeline (last 90 days)
UserCF recommends based on user similarity, while ItemCF recommends based on item similarity; the two are different viewing directions (by row vs by column) of the same user-item interaction matrix.
UserCF is suitable for content platforms where user interests diverge (news, video) and for trend-oriented scenarios; ItemCF is suitable for e-commerce where the item set is relatively stable and the number of users far exceeds the number of items, and for scenarios that require explainability.
