Project Summary
What is a Recommendation System?
A Recommendation System is a filtration program whose prime goal is to predict a user’s “rating” or “preference” towards a domain-specific item or item. In our case, this domain-specific item is a movie. Therefore the main focus of our recommendation system is to filter and predict only those movies which a user would prefer given some data from the user’s input.
Why Recommendation Systems?
Recommendation Systems are essential for several reasons:
Recommendation Systems offer personalized suggestions based on user preferences, ensuring that users discover content and products that are relevant and interesting to them. By providing tailored recommendations, users are more likely to engage with the platform, increasing user satisfaction and retention. E-commerce platforms use recommendation systems to promote products, leading to higher sales and revenue as users discover and purchase items they might not have otherwise considered. In today’s vast digital landscape, recommendation systems help users navigate the overwhelming amount of content available, making it easier to find what they seek. Recommendation systems expose users to new and diverse content, expanding their horizons and introducing them to items they might have overlooked. For complex and subjective choices, such as movies, music, or books, recommendation systems help users make informed decisions by relying on past behavior and preferences.
Project Overview: Utilized Python to develop a movie recommendation system to suggest relevant movies to users based on their preferences or past behavior. This system will leverage various recommendation techniques to provide personalized suggestions.
- DELIVERABLES
- Utilized Python to design and implement a state-of-the-art movie recommendation system using machine learning techniques to deliver personalized movie suggestions.
- Utilized collaborative filtering and content-based filtering methods to enhance recommendation accuracy and cater to individual user preferences.
- Leveraged matrix factorization techniques, such as Cosine Similarity, to identify percentage of similarity between each movies, for more precise recommendations.
- Applied difflib in analyzing movie metadata, including genre and description, to improve the relevance of recommendations.
- Applied term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) in converting texts to machine learning formats, to enhance the model’s ability to identify spam characteristics.
- Implemented a hybrid recommendation approach that combines collaborative and content-based methods to optimize recommendation performance and diversity.
- Designed and developed a scalable and efficient recommendation engine capable of handling large volumes of user data and movie information.
- ANALYSIS IMPACT
- The movie recommendation system leverages collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, or a hybrid approach to provide personalized movie suggestions. With proper data preprocessing, model evaluation, and deployment, the system aims to enhance user experience by delivering relevant and engaging movie recommendations.
