A web app to recommend movies based on user input
This recommender system uses two different models to determine the recommendations: Nearest Neighbors and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (can be selected). The models are trained on a reduced data set of movie ratings.
There are two methods available to get recommendations:
- By favorite movies: Select as many movies you like and get a recommendation for similar movies.
- By rating: Rate up to 10 arbitrarily selected movies and get a recommendation based on your rating.
This App was a weekly project at the SPICED Datascience Bootcamp from April to June 2023.
The code has been published on GitHub: https://github.com/yotkadata/movie_recommender
