INTRODUCTION
The Movie Recommenda on System is a project designed to help users find
personalized movie sugges ons. This system will use machine learning
techniques to analyze user preferences and viewing habits. The project tackles
the common problem of decision fa gue in choosing movies by leveraging
collabora ve filtering, content-based filtering, and hybrid recommenda on
models.
The system aims to dynamically update its database using APIs like IMDb or
TMDb and will feature advanced filtering op ons to refine recommenda ons
based on genres, actors, and user ra ngs. This project provides an excellent
opportunity to apply machine learning concepts to a real-world problem while
building essen al backend development skills.
Key objec ves of the project include:
1. Building a scalable and efficient recommenda on engine.
2. Crea ng a user-friendly interface with filters and dynamic updates.
3. Demonstra ng the ability to learn and apply machine learning concepts
to prac cal challenges.

MOTIVATION
As someone new to the field of machine learning, I wanted to start with a
project that combines practicality and creativity. The idea of building a
Movie Recommendation System excites me because of its direct relevance
to everyday life and its role in improving user experiences on streaming
platforms. Recently, when our ETE was over, we friends gathered and
successfully wasted 3 hours deciding what to watch and half of them already
slept. So, this came in my mind that we should have a general movie partner
who should suggest some good movies to watch.

Recommendation systems are integral to platforms like Netflix, Prime


Video, and YouTube, making them essential in the tech landscape. This
project aligns with my goal of learning machine learning fundamentals while
leveraging my existing knowledge of Flask for backend development.

TIMELINE
Phase 1: Research and Dataset Setup (Days 1–5)
 Learn the basics of machine learning concepts and recommenda on
algorithms.
 Gather datasets from Kaggle, MovieLens, or TMDb API.
 Clean and preprocess data for consistency.
Phase 2: Building Basic Models (Days 6–15)
 Implement collabora ve filtering (SVD or cosine similarity).
 Explore content-based filtering using TF-IDF on movie metadata.
 Combine both into a hybrid recommenda on system.
Phase 3: Frontend and Backend Integra on (Days 16–25)
 Use Flask to build the backend for API calls and data processing.
 Develop a simple frontend for user interac on (e.g., React or plain
HTML/CSS).
 Add filtering op ons for genres, actors, and IMDb ra ngs.
Phase 4: Tes ng and Deployment (Days 26–30)
 Test the system for accuracy and responsiveness.
 Deploy the project on pla orms like Heroku or AWS.
 Write comprehensive documenta on to highlight features and usage.

ABOUT ME
I am a first-year undergraduate in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Roorkee. I am
passionate about learning new technologies and exploring their applications.
Although I am new to machine learning, I am eager to develop my skills and
take on challenging projects like this one.

I have basic knowledge of Python and Flask, which I plan to use for the
backend development of this project. This proposal is my first step toward
entering the field of machine learning, and I am excited about the opportunity to
learn and grow.
