- Configure the AI engine
- Meet the minimum data requirements of interactions and events.
For users of multiple workspaces, we provide the option to train models for a workspace using data from other workspaces in situations where a data shortage in the target workspace prevents model training. This option is available for training the following recommendation models: Personalized, Section page recommendations, Attribute recommendations, Cross-sell and Cart recommendations.
In order to use it, contact the Synerise support.
