I’ve devoted my weekends in June to constructing a collection of small AI-powered aspect initiatives. The objective? To problem myself, study new methods, and experiment with how AI might be utilized to on a regular basis issues.
For my first weekend venture, I made a decision to construct a Film Recommender System — a Netflix-style suggestion engine, however with a couple of additional touches that make it a bit extra private and enjoyable.
Film recommenders are nothing new — we’ve all seen them in motion on Netflix, Hulu, and just about each streaming platform. However as a substitute of merely copying current algorithms, I wished to discover how a number of similarity approaches can complement one another. I additionally wished to herald a conversational AI component that makes the suggestions really feel a bit extra “human.”
The consequence? A system the place you choose a film, it recommends 5 others, and explains why it selected them.
