This book starts from the classic recommendation algorithms, introduces readers to the basic principles and main concepts of the traditional algorithms, and analyzes their advantages and limitations. Then, it addresses the fundamentals of deep learning, focusing on the deep-learning-based technology used, and analyzes problems arising in the theory and practice of recommender systems, helping readers gain a deeper understanding of the cutting-edge technology used in these systems. Lastly, it shares practical experience with Microsoft 's open source project Microsoft Recommenders. Readers can learn the design principles of recommendation algorithms using the source code provided in this book, allowing them to quickly build accurate and efficient recommender systems from scratch.

This book shares with English readers Chinese theoretical and practical explorations of moral education curriculum for primary schools within the basic education curriculum reform project since 2001. The book expounds this moral education curriculum reform and focuses on three main ideas: The curriculum’s aim is to enrich children’s experiences and reflect their own lives; the curriculum’s content is originated from children’s lives; the curriculum’s structure is developed from children’s learning approach in their morality and social study. In this book, light is also shed on how to construct moral education textbooks, direct moral instruction, and moral teacher identity in the perspective of moral learning; how to knit law education and Chinese traditional culture education in moral curriculum. This is the first comprehensive book focusing on Chinese moral education curriculum reform. It will appeal to researchers, research students, and writersof moral education textbooks. It is also suitable for teacher training programs to help future teachers learn about moral education curriculum and help them effectively design and organize it for children’s morality study.
