[Update] 6 months ago, we asked for your help at the infancy of this project and got some great feedback. Per your suggestion, we refined the algorithm and made the following data viz improvements:
— Streaming on Netflix in your country
— What to watch with another friend
— Visualize movie recommendations by year/genre
— Cool graphs for your personal movie stats
— Dynamic charts for movie attributes (plot, theme, pace, rewatchability, etc)
Four months ago, we asked for your help at the infancy of this project and got some constructive feedback. Per your suggestion, we refined the algorithm and added recommendations for:
* Streaming on Netflix
* What to watch with another friend
* By Era/Genre/Actor/Director/Writer
We’re now officially showing this on HN, please share and tell us what you think!
We've tested other models but collaborative filtering gave us the most "human"/natural results. Also, didn't Netflix toss the matrix factorization after the contest? IIRC they decided to keep their current algorithm.
The point of this site is to give you recommendations you haven't seen. I hate it when all the recommended movies on Netflix are all movies I've seen and can't get rid off...
— Streaming on Netflix in your country
— What to watch with another friend
— Visualize movie recommendations by year/genre
— Cool graphs for your personal movie stats
— Dynamic charts for movie attributes (plot, theme, pace, rewatchability, etc)
