INTRODUCTION
PROBLEM STATEMENT: To Develop a real-time skill recommendation system with an intuitive
user interface that allows users to input a specific skill and receive personalized recommendations
for complementary skills. The system should provide an easy-to-use interface where users can
explore relevant skill suggestions, tailored to their current expertise and learning goals, promoting
continuous professional development. The user interface should also offer explanations for each
recommendation and insights into skill trends to guide the user's learning journey effectively.
OVERVIEW:
-Importance of continuous learning in the modern workforce.
-The need for personalized skill recommendations.

OBJECTIVES
-Provide tailored skill recommendations based on user input.
-Enhance user engagement through an intuitive interface.
-Facilitate professional growth with relevant insights and trends.

Backend:
Language: Python for the server-side logic, utilizing Flask or Django for API development.
Recommendation Engine: Machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn for implementing
algorithms that generate personalized skill recommendations.
Architecture Overview:
Client-Server Model: The frontend interacts with the backend via RESTful APIs.
Recommendation Workflow: User input is processed through the recommendation engine, which
retrieves relevant data from the database and returns skill suggestions.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Frontend Development
● Created wireframes and mockups of the user interface.
● Developed a prototype to visualize user flow and interactions.

Backend Development
Set up the database and built the API for skill recommendations.
Integrated the recommendation algorithm.
Challenge: Ensuring data consistency and performance.
Solution: Conducted thorough testing and optimized database.
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify, render_template

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
from sklearn.metrics.pairwise import cosine_similarity
app = Flask(name)
class SkillRecommender:
def init(self, data_path):
# Read the CSV file
self.df = pd.read_csv(data_path)
# Create TF-IDF vectorizer for skill similarity

self.vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(stop_words='english')
# Combine all text columns for better similarity matching
self.df['combined_features'] = self.df['Skill'] + ' ' + \
self.df['Related Skills'] + ' ' + \
self.df['Explanation'] + ' ' + \
self.df['Industry Focus']
# Create TF-IDF matrix

self.tfidf_matrix = self.vectorizer.fit_transform(self.df['combined_features'])
# Calculate similarity matrix

self.similarity_matrix = cosine_similarity(self.tfidf_matrix)
def get_recommendations(self, input_skill):

"""Get recommendations based on input skill"""
try:
skill_idx = self.df[self.df['Skill'].str.lower() == input_skill.lower()].index[0]
except IndexError:
return "Skill not found in database"
similarity_scores = self.similarity_matrix[skill_idx]
similar_indices = similarity_scores.argsort()[::-1][1:4] # Get top 3 similar skills
recommendations = []
for idx in similar_indices:
recommendations.append({
'Skill': self.df.iloc[idx]['Skill'],
'Related_Skills': self.df.iloc[idx]['Related Skills'],
'Explanation': self.df.iloc[idx]['Explanation'],
'Popularity_Trend': self.df.iloc[idx]['Popularity Trend'],
'Industry_Focus': self.df.iloc[idx]['Industry Focus'],
'Resources': self.df.iloc[idx]['Resources'],
'Similarity_Score': f"{similarity_scores[idx]:.2f}"
})
return recommendations
# Initialize the recommender

recommender = SkillRecommender('hack.csv')
