  • Analyzing Real-Time Movie Reviews With Redpanda and Memgraph

  • DVDInbox - A new replacement service for Netflix DVD in the works
    Their rating & recommendation system is another top feature, in my opinion. The five-star rating system is superb. I think it was a major misstep when the streaming service switched over to the "thumbs up/down" system instead. Fortunately, the disc service retained the five-star system. I found the movie recommendation algorithm to be tremendously valuable. I don't think it would be too hard to build or even find... Source: 10 months ago
  • Alternatives to IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes for more realistic movie ratings?
    Https://movielens.org/ has an interesting concept and it has given me some recommendations that a traditional ratings site never would. Source: 11 months ago
  • CMV: When selecting a movie to watch, the audience's rating is the only thing that matters and the critic's rating is entirely irrelevant.
    Have you heard of movielens? They're doing something similar. Source: 12 months ago
  • Blockbuster ‘laughed us out of the room,’ recalls Netflix cofounder on trying to sell company now worth over $150 billion for $50 million
    Checkout movielens if you miss the old Netflix rating system. It uses the same 5 star system and algorithm. https://movielens.org/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Imdb or Letterbox?
    Anyway, just try out other sites. You can export and import your voting history in them. So it's not difficult to move. There are also even more sites which focus more on other stuff again. https://movielens.org/ for example tries to give you suggestions based on a data driven approach. I know the others do that too but it focuses on that aspect. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Show HN: Personalized book recommendations with Librarian AI
    Is it a classical recommendation method? What's the underlying algorithm? A veteran for movie recommendations: https://movielens.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • Trying to create an AI recommender system that’s also ad-free video streaming.
    This sounds a bit like https://movielens.org/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Is there a service that will look at my IMDB ratings and give me movie suggestions?
    MovieLens https://movielens.org/ might fit the bill. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Ask HN: How can Netflix and Amazon Prime be this bad at recommending content?
    If you are looking for movie recommendations, nothing beats movielense https://movielens.org. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • What movie to watch next ? Amazon Personalize to the rescue - Part 1
    In this tutorial, we will be using the MovieLens dataset which is a popular dataset used for recommendation research. We will be using the MovieLens 25M Dataset under the Recommended for new research section. This contains 25 million ratings and one million tag applications applied to 62,000 movies by 162,000 users. The scripts and code referenced in this tutorial can be found in my github repository. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Is ‘Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ Getting Review Bombed? Amazon Suspends Ratings
    OK. I researched this for you. The purest expression of this type of engine currently seems to be https://movielens.org/ Good luck! Source: over 1 year ago
  • Movies with the biggest gap between your opinion and the consensus
    One of the movie rating sites I use (MovieLens) allows you to display this. Once you've rated all your films (I have about 2500 in there), you can tell it to show films where your rating deviates most from the consensus of all other users (be they higher or lower than average.). Source: almost 2 years ago
  • The Bottom Is Dropping Out of Netflix
    Https://movielens.org/ is the best one I've used so far. I find it almost creepy how good it predicts how I'll rate a movie. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • If these are my favourite movies what are some lesser known movies that I’ll enjoy?
    You should sign up for MovieLens and rate movies to get personalized recommendations. It's from a computer science lab at the University of Minnesota, so there's no ads or cost. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Is there a site that you can keep track of movies you watched and that will also give you recommendations based on your ratings of TV/movies?
    Https://movielens.org/ has been my goto. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Analyzing Real-Time Movie Reviews with Redpanda and Memgraph
    In this example, we will use the reduced MovieLens dataset streamed via Redpanda. Each JSON message will be structured like the one below:. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
  • Show HN: I made a movie recommendation app based on your mood
    To those interested in movie recommendation engines, I've been using movielens (https://movielens.org/) for years and it's great. You rate movies you've seen and it predicts which other movies you'll like. The execution is really good: for example, it's aware of popularity, so you can look at movies that others are likely to rate low, but you high, or the opposite. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • Movie recommendations from AI
    Thanks for the question! For all I know, there only exist two other AI movie recommendation sites https://movix.ai and movielens. movix.ai does not seem to work anymore - you never get your recommendations, and with movielens you have to create a user, add 10 movies, and wait more than a day to get your recommendations. Cinemate will give you recommendations in a matter of seconds. There are also other... Source: about 3 years ago
