This is a collaborative filtering project with MS SQL Server 2005. We need you to build an application that allows us to create and re-train a data mining model to make item or user based product recommendations using the SQL Server 2005 Association Rules or similar.
You will be given data that includes product sales history (ProductID, CustomerID, OrderDate) and your job will be to create mining model that, in the end, allows us to do item based recommendations (if they are looking at one productID, what other productIDs do you recommend?) and user based recommendations (look at all the history for a specific CustomerID and make ProductID recommendations based on the purchase history).
The results of the mining should be easily called via a SQL query or stored procedure from an ASP webpage.
Previous experience with SQL 2005 data mining and/or collaborative filtering required.
