MOVIE RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM

USING MACHINE LEARNING


Objective
To design and develop a machine learning-based movie recommendation system that
analyzes user preferences and viewing patterns to suggest relevant movies, enhancing user
experience and engagement.

1. Introduction
Recommendation systems are powerful tools used by platforms like Netflix, Amazon, and
YouTube to enhance user satisfaction by suggesting content tailored to their tastes. This
project aims to build a movie recommendation system using machine learning techniques
that analyze user data, such as movie ratings, to predict and suggest movies that a user
might enjoy.

2. Problem Statement
With the increasing volume of digital content, users often face decision fatigue when
choosing movies. The goal is to create a system that provides personalized
recommendations to users based on their preferences, making content discovery easier and
more enjoyable.

3. Objectives
- Collect and process user data related to movie preferences.
- Apply machine learning techniques to analyze and predict user interests.
- Suggest personalized movie recommendations to users.

4. Methodology
a. Data Collection
We used a movie dataset (e.g., MovieLens) that contains user ratings, movie metadata, and
genres.

b. Data Preprocessing
The data was cleaned, null values were handled, and relevant features were extracted for
modeling.
c. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
EDA helped identify trends, such as the most popular genres, frequently watched movies,
and user activity levels.

d. Model Selection
We implemented both:
- Content-Based Filtering: Recommends movies similar to those a user has liked based on
genre, cast, or description.
- Collaborative Filtering: Recommends movies based on similarity between users and their
ratings.

e. Model Implementation
We used:
- TF-IDF vectorization and cosine similarity for content-based filtering.
- KNN (k-nearest neighbors) for collaborative filtering.

5. Tools and Technologies


- Programming Language: Python
- Libraries: Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, Surprise, Matplotlib, Seaborn
- IDE: Jupyter Notebook / Google Colab

6. Results and Evaluation


- The system provides relevant recommendations with reasonable accuracy.
- It helps users discover new movies aligned with their preferences.
- Evaluation metrics like RMSE were used to assess collaborative filtering performance.

7. Conclusion
The movie recommendation system successfully suggests movies based on user behavior
and movie features. It can be further improved by integrating user demographics, feedback,
and real-time updates.
8. Future Scope
- Include more features like user reviews, watch time, or actors.
- Incorporate deep learning (e.g., neural collaborative filtering).
- Deploy the system using a web framework for user interaction.
