3. Abstract
• Recommender systems generates meaningful recommendations to a collection of users for items or
products that might interest them.
• Movie recommendation is important in our social life due to its strength in providing enhanced
entertainment.
• Although, a set of movie recommendation systems have been proposed, most of these either cannot
recommend a movie to the existing users efficiently or to a new user by any means.
• In this project we propose a movie recommendation system that has the ability to recommend movies to a
new user as well as the others.

4. Existing System
• The existing system is based on clustering the data. Clustering is the task of dividing
the population or data points into a number of groups such that data points in the
same groups are more similar to other data points in the same group than those in
other groups.
• K-Means clustering algorithm is a popular algorithm that has been used because the
given dataset has no target variables i.e. unsupervised learning hence it has no
predictions, instead it can form groups or clusters.

5. Disadvantages:
• Does not work well with large dataset: In large datasets, the cost of calculating the distance
between the new point and each existing points is huge which degrades the performance of
the algorithm.
• Does not work well with high dimensions: K-Means clustering algorithm
doesn't work well with high dimensional data because with large number of
dimensions, it becomes difficult for the algorithm to calculate the distance in each dimension.
• Being dependent on initial values: For a low k, you can mitigate this dependence by running k-
means several times with different initial values and picking the best result. As k increases, you
need advanced versions of k-means to pick better values of the initial centroids (called k-
means seeding).

6. Proposed System
• The proposed system is based on classification of the data. Classification of the data is
giving the data based on the content.
• There are two methods we use in our project content-based filtering and filtering based on
User interests. This is generally called a hybrid filtering technique. We will discuss more about
these in future slides.
Advantages:
• These work on user’s interests and targets labelled data: It only recommends what the user is
interested in watching. And here we have the target is labelled data.
• Prediction is more accurate: Unlike K-Means clustering algorithm, This works on similarity measure calculated
using cosine similarity and comparatively gives more accurate result.

15. Inputs
We used the dataset obtained from TMDB API. We use two types of data,
1. Full Dataset.
2. Small Dataset.

16. Python Libraries
 Sklearn:
We used this module to vectorise the data
and to calculate the cosine similarity.
 Matplotlib:
We used this module to plot the graphs for
comparing the different features of the data.
 Pandas:
We used this module to modify and filter
the dataset according to the requirement.
 Numpy:
We used this module to manipulate the data
used in to large sets of arrays and for
applying few mathematical functions
required on data.

17. Implementation
 Simpler Recommender
Simpler Recommender recommends the movies that are more popular and more critically acclaimed will have a higher
probability of being liked by the average audience.

• This recommender is
common to all the
users.

18. We used the TMDB Ratings to come up with our Top Movies Chart.
We used IMDB's weighted rating formula to construct the chart.
Mathematically, it is represented as follows:
Weighted Rating (WR) = ((v/v + m)*R) + ((m/v + m)*C)
Where,
• v is the number of votes for the movie
• m is the minimum votes required to be listed in the chart
• R is the average rating of the movie
• C is the mean vote across the whole report

19.  Content-Based Recommender
Content based recommendation system recommends movies based on the content, meta data of
the movie dataset we have.
Content-Based
Recommender
Small dataset
Movies Similar to
given title
Input Title

20. We built two Content Based Recommenders based on:
• Movie Overviews and Taglines.
• Movie Cast, Crew, Keywords and Genre.
We used cosine similarity to find out the numeric value of similarity between two movies.
Mathematically, it is defined as follows:
Cosine (x, y) = (x. (y ^ t)) / (||x||. ||y||)
We used the linear_kernel present in sklearn module which does the same work much faster.

ranking movies based on a Weighted Rating calculations.

23. Figure : The screenshot refers to the output of the movies being displayed with the top
movies based on a particular GENRE by the user.

24. Figure : The screenshot refers to the output of the movies being displayed with the top 10
ranking movies based on a particular input from the user.

25. Test Cases
 A TEST CASE is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine whether a
system under test satisfies requirements or works correctly. The process of developing test cases
can also help find problems in the requirements or design of an application.

27. Conclusion
 Recommender systems are a powerful new technology for extracting additional value for a business from its
user databases. These systems help users find items they want to buy from a business. Recommender
systems benefit users by enabling them to find items they actually attract or interested towards.
 Recommender systems are being stressed by the huge volume of user data in existing corporate databases,
and will be stressed even more by the increasing volume of user data available on the Web.
 Using Content-Based recommendation we were able to recommend the movies which users might be
interested.

28. Future Enhancements
 Cosine similarity calculation do not work well when we don't have enough rating for movie or when user's
rating for some movie is exceptionally either high or low. As an improvement on this project some other
methods such as adjusted cosine similarity can be used to compute similarity.
 In equation form, the adjusted cosine similarity computation is expressed as:
The main advantage of this approach is that in item-based collaborative filtering, the item vectors consist of
ratings from different users who often have varying rating scales.
