1.1 Introduction
In this project, we recommend movies to the users based on the history of their
personalized searches and reviews. Both people and online streaming services need
a user based personalized movie recommendation system which helps in analyzing
the interests of each individual and recommends the best movies suited to them.
The approach used for building the movie recommendation system is content-based
filtering. As we know that content-based filtering analyses the user's past behavior
and recommends items similar to it based on the parameters considered. In this
Content-based movie recommender system gives their recommendations based on
attributes like Ratings, Genre, and Casts.
BACKGROUND RESEARCH
There is little doubt machine learning has become one of the most powerful
technologies in the last decade. The emphasis on “learning” in machine
learning allows computers to make better and better decisions, based on
previous experiences. Classical machine learning is often categorized into
supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised or reinforced learning depending
on how the algorithm learns to become more accurate in its predictions.
Among them, supervised learning is one of the heavily explored and important
form of ML. In Supervised Learning, the learning process is done under the
seen label of observation variables. Datasets are trained with the training sets
to build a model which is used later on to label new observations or data
points from the testing set. As for the training set, the input variables are the
features which will influence the accuracy of predicted variable. It contains
both quantitative and qualitative variables; the output variable is the label class
that Supervised Learning will label the new observations.
