Using a User's information about which other list of Users it is following within AWS Personalize Recipe

[amanalok88]

Hi,

I am using AWS Personalize to build a personalized recommender system using a social networking application's data. I had the below question:

• Is there a way to introduce the effect of following another User by a given User.
• Essentially should it have an impact the personalized feed of a User, given the User follows a list of other Users ?
• If yes, what should be the impact, in what magnitude, and how do we use this "User Following Other Users" information within Amazon Personalize.

Thanks!
