Abstract

Recommender systems are playing a major role in the information filtering to the users. Recently there are different recommender models developed for various artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics applications. This research focuses on the types of movie recommender systems and building a collaborative filtering model using Python.

Keywords: Recommender systems; Information filtering; Collaborative filtering; Machine learning; Data analytics; Artificial intelligences

Introduction

Recommender systems are filtering the required information to the users based on their interests, styles of learning, and other primary characteristics. The recommender systems such as Collaborative Filtering (CF) are also developed for movie applications [1,2]. The recommendation systems are implemented by the companies for the following main criterion:
A. Improving the retention: The users choices are continuously catered to make loyal customers
B. Increasing the sales: To increase the sales 10% to 50% due to accurate “You must also like” recommendations of the products.
C. Form habits: To provide accuracy in the contents results in developing strong habits, customers usage patterns.
D. Accelerate work: Time saving up to 80% due to specific recommendations and to support the research work.

Types of Movie Recommender Systems

The types of movie recommenders systems are sketched in (Figure 1) with CF and content-based filtering [3,4]. Companies such as Amazon, Pandora, and Netflix are using analytics to predict customer behaviors and provide recommendations. The companies such as Amazon, Pandora, Twitter, and Netflix track and how they use this data are sketched in (Figure 2-5).

Limitations of user CF

a. One can watch specific movies that no one else watches which results in no recommendation.
b. Not enough ratings to match new movies.
c. For new users, the user is not rated and watched many movies and it results in users mapping problems.

Building a user CF in python

The user CF model is developed in Python with the following steps:
a. Install and import the surprise package.
b. Load the instance ml-100k.
c. Split the data into training and testing.
d. Apply the KNN algorithm to the training set.
e. Display the 25 best neighbors to the user with ratings.

f. Predict the rating for a user not yet watched the movie.
g. Find the expected ratings.
h. Test using the testing dataset for every movie.

The Python implementation is as follows: (Figure 7)

Conclusion & Future Work

This research analyzed the types of movie recommender systems and developed a CF model using Python for movie applications. In the future, different soft computing strategies can be used for the implementation to obtain better accuracy [5-10].
