Keep-Watching

Keep-Watching is a movie recommendation and review app build using React for the front-end, express for the back-end, flask for handelling the recommendations and similar movies section, mongoDB for the database

Here is the flask server https://github.com/yashodeepchikte/Keep-Watching-server

This project uses SurpriseLib for dealing with Cosine similarity based nearest neighbours algorithm for generating recommendations.
For implimentation purpose dummy users are created using moviewlens 100K dataset. Each user has at least 20 movie ratings.

Features

Recommendations are based on similar users(UserBased Collaborative Filtering) and similar movies (itemBased colaborative filtering)
(in deployment the item based model exceeds the available memory limit on the free tier of Heroku so this has not been included)
