Building a Recommendation System with R. Learn the art of building robust and powerful recommendation engines using R

Michele Usuelli

A recommendation system performs extensive data analysis in order to generate suggestions to its users about what might interest them. R has recently become one of the most popular programming languages for the data analysis. Its structure allows you to interactively explore the data and its modules contain the most cutting-edge techniques thanks to its wide international community. This distinctive feature of the R language makes it a preferred choice for developers who are looking to build recommendation systems.The book will help you understand how to build recommender systems using R. It starts off by explaining the basics of data mining and machine learning. Next, you will be familiarized with how to build and optimize recommender models using R. Following that, you will be given an overview of the most popular recommendation techniques. Finally, you will learn to implement all the concepts you have learned throughout the book to build a recommender system.

Building Natural Language and LLM Pipelines. Build production-grade RAG, tool contracts, and context engineering with Haystack and LangGraph

Laura Funderburk

Modern LLM applications often break in production due to brittle pipelines, loose tool definitions, and noisy context. This book shows you how to build production-ready, context-aware systems using Haystack and LangGraph. You’ll learn to design deterministic pipelines with strict tool contracts and deploy them as microservices. Through structured context engineering, you’ll orchestrate reliable agent workflows and move beyond simple prompt-based interactions. You'll start by understanding LLM behavior—tokens, embeddings, and transformer models—and see how prompt engineering has evolved into a full context engineering discipline. Then, you'll build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines with retrievers, rankers, and custom components using Haystack’s graph-based architecture. You’ll also create knowledge graphs, synthesize unstructured data, and evaluate system behavior using Ragas and Weights & Biases. In LangGraph, you’ll orchestrate agents with supervisor-worker patterns, typed state machines, retries, fallbacks, and safety guardrails. By the end of the book, you’ll have the skills to design scalable, testable LLM pipelines and multi-agent systems that remain robust as the AI ecosystem evolves.*Email sign-up and proof of purchase required
