I hate to be that guy, but who is your prof?

I work at Amazon, and my understanding of how the teams and services that put together this kind of functionality for recommendations is that they'll be updating this and testing against MANY variants in a given time to optimise where possible.

I'm not aiming to call you out, mainly curious, because right now unless your professor is an active employee at Amazon or a part of the scholar program the most this could be true is that they created one variant that was once used.

I won't say their name because that would indirectly identify me but they left Amazon to teach a few years ago so this information could absolutely be outdated.
