Movie Recommendation System Project Using Content-Based Filtering
The Movie Recommendation System is a practical machine learning project that suggests movies based on genre similarity and average user ratings. It uses content-based filtering with TF-IDF and KNN to find movies similar to a given title, then ranks them using a hybrid scoring approach. Built entirely in Python using pandas and scikit-learn, the project is deployed as an interactive web app using Gradio. It’s beginner-friendly, end-to-end, and demonstrates how real-world recommendation systems work in practice.
