Abstract

Systems, devices, and techniques are disclosed for localization of machine learning models trained with global data. Data sets of event data for users may be received. The data sets may belong to separate groups. The data sets of event data may be combined to generate a global data set. A matrix factorization model may be trained using the global data set to generate a globally trained matrix factorization model. A localization group data set may be generated including event data from the global data set for users from a first of the groups. The globally trained matrix factorization model may be trained with the localization group data set to generate a localized matrix factorization model for the first of the groups.
