An Improved Approach for Movie Recommendation System

In this hustling world, entertainment is a necessity for each one of us to refresh our mood and energy. Entertainment regains our confidence for work and we can work more enthusiastically. For revitalizing ourselves, we can listen to our preferred music or can watch movies of our choice. For watching favorable movies online we can utilize movie recommendation systems, which are more reliable, since searching of preferred movies will require more and more time which one cannot afford to waste. In this paper, to improve the quality of a movie recommendation system, a Hybrid approach by combining content based filtering and collaborative filtering, using Support Vector Machine as a classifier and genetic algorithm is presented in the proposed methodology and comparative results have been shown which depicts that the proposed approach shows an improvement in the accuracy, quality and scalability of the movie recommendation system than the pure approaches in three different datasets. Hybrid approach helps to get the advantages from both the approaches as well as tries to eliminate the drawbacks of both methods.
