Status

• Random recommendation, NMF and Neighborhood models are running locally, but are slow
• NMF model can't be used on the web app, because it takes too long (timeout error). The other two models run also on the web app
• Choosing trending or clustering model will simply recommend default movies, since those models are not implemented
