SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING RECOMMENDATIONS OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS BASED ON SIMILARITY

Systems, methods and computer readable medium are provided for generating recommendations of computer applications for entities including: receiving, at an input of a neural network model, a set of input features for characteristics of a set of entities; automatically selecting a middle layer of the model from amongst one or more hidden layers; determining values at the middle layer for entities corresponding to output values of the nodes of the middle layer; measuring similarity distances for a first entity as compared to other entities of the set of entities based on distance between the corresponding values at the middle layer; identifying a similar entity to the first entity based on the measured similarity distance for the first entity to the similar entity being the shortest of the measured similarity distances; and providing a recommendation for a computer application for the first entity based on the similar entity.
