PreferredAI/cornac

• highreadme#1

  Clarify README's opening to emphasize building multimodal recommender systems

  Why:

  CURRENT

  **Cornac** is a comparative framework for multimodal recommender systems. It focuses on making it **convenient** to work with models leveraging **auxiliary data** (e.g., item descriptive text and image, social network, etc).

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  **Cornac** is a comprehensive framework for **building, evaluating, and comparing** multimodal recommender systems. It provides **convenient tools** for developing models that leverage **diverse auxiliary data** like item descriptive text, images, or social networks.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  ## Multimodal Capabilities
  
  Cornac excels at integrating diverse auxiliary data sources into recommendation models, including:
  *   **Textual Data:** Item descriptions, reviews, tags.
  *   **Visual Data:** Product images, user avatars.
  *   **Social Network Data:** User connections, interactions.
  *   **Temporal Data:** Time-aware interactions.
