ABSTRACT
In this project, a movie recommended system is built based on the TMDB datasets. We
used a content-based filtering method to recommends other movie which are similar to the
selected movies. There is already enough content available on the movie recommendation
system. Showing the movie recommendations are essential so that the user need not waste
a lot of time searching for the content which he/she might like. Thus, the movie
recommendation system plays a vital role to get user personalized movie
recommendations. After searching a lot on the internet and referring to a lot of research
papers, we got to know that the recommendations made using Content-based Filtering are
using a single text to vector conversion technique and a single technique to find the
similarity between the vectors. In this research work, we have used multiple text to vector
conversion techniques and manipulated the results of the multiple algorithms to get the
final recommendation list. You can think of it as a hybrid approach using the Content-
based Filtering technique only.
