Movie_house

This Movie_house is a web-dev project, aims at recommending the movies and series to the user based on the search history of the user with the help of ML Algorithms. It also recommends the content on the basis of user's Genre history as well as genre based filtering of the content. Along with all these, users can create rooms together and hang out and chill while watching the movies. This project is solely designed and developed by our team System_Reboot (Shashank Singh,Himanshi Sharma,Ankit Gupta).

Workflow

Challenges

• Cold-start Problem : Recommendation for new user and new movies was a problem for me. So for new user I recommended most popular movie and new movie are recommend to user according to genres and keyword
• Integration of Python and Nodejs : using "require("child_process").spawn" I got rid of this

Future

Recommend similar choice user :- Recommendation of user those who watch moive of similar genres and keyword.

• I plan to add genres and keyword of all the searched movie
• convert whole thing in vector using countVectorizer
• store distance of one user with all other user in matrix using cosine_similarity
• Then recommend most similar user
