Inspiration
A lot of times after watching one movie we want to watch similar movies, so I wanted to make a webapp for exactly that
What it does
Recommends top 5 movies you should watch next based on the movie you enter
How I built it
Used the TMDB 5000 movies dataset and used google colab for running the python code. Used streamlit to build the basic frontend interface. Used the TMDB API to get the movie posters. Used replit to code the app. Used Heroku to deploy it.
Challenges I ran into
Stemming, an NLP concept, it was working for individual words but wasn't for the entire data. Also, getting the movie posters from the TMDB API was a little tricky
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
First time submitting a full stack project on Devpost and deploying my first app on Heroku!
What we learned
Building a recommender system, using python and NLP concepts
What's next for Watch Next
Trying to increase the accuracy of the model and also try to implement colloborative filtering instead of content based filtering
