These connections are suggested by a Recommender System, using techniques like Topic Modeling, Content-Based Filtering and Graph traversing. Smart Canvas is a multi-tenant Software as a Service, featuring a scalable cloud-based Recommender System architecture, including tools like Spark and Titan Graph Database, deployed on Google Cloud Platform.
