Movielens Case Study

DESCRIPTION

Background of Problem Statement :

The GroupLens Research Project is a research group in the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering at the University of Minnesota. Members of the GroupLens Research Project are
involved in many research projects related to the fields of information filtering, collaborative filtering,
and recommender systems. The project is led by professors John Riedl and Joseph Konstan. The
project began to explore automated collaborative filtering in 1992 but is most well known for its
worldwide trial of an automated collaborative filtering system for Usenet news in 1996. Since then,
the project has expanded its scope to research overall information by filtering solutions, integrating
into content-based methods, as well as, improving current collaborative filtering technology.

Problem Objective:

Here, we ask you to perform the analysis using the Exploratory Data Analysis technique. You need to
find features affecting the ratings of any particular movie and build a model to predict the movie
ratings.

Domain: Entertainment

Analysis Tasks to be performed:

Import the three datasets

Create a new dataset [Master_Data] with the following columns MovieID Title UserID Age Gender
Occupation Rating. (Hint: (i) Merge two tables at a time. (ii) Merge the tables using two primary keys
MovieID & UserId)

Explore the datasets using visual representations (graphs or tables), also include your comments on
the following:

User Age Distribution

User rating of the movie “Toy Story”

Top 25 movies by viewership rating


Find the ratings for all the movies reviewed by for a particular user of user id = 2696

Feature Engineering:

Use column genres:

Find out all the unique genres (Hint: split the data in column genre making a list and then process the
data to find out only the unique categories of genres)

Create a separate column for each genre category with a one-hot encoding ( 1 and 0) whether or not
the movie belongs to that genre.

Determine the features affecting the ratings of any particular movie.

Develop an appropriate model to predict the movie ratings

Dataset Description:

These files contain 1,000,209 anonymous ratings of approximately 3,900 movies made by 6,040
MovieLens users who joined MovieLens in 2000.

Ratings.dat

Format - UserID::MovieID::Rating::Timestamp

Field Description

UserID Unique identification for each user

MovieID Unique identification for each movie

Rating User rating for each movie

Timestamp Timestamp generated while adding user review

UserIDs range between 1 and 6040

The MovieIDs range between 1 and 3952

Ratings are made on a 5-star scale (whole-star ratings only)

A timestamp is represented in seconds since the epoch is returned by time (2)

Each user has at least 20 ratings

Users.dat

Only users who have provided demographic information are included in this data set.

Gender is denoted by an "M" for male and "F" for female

Age is chosen from the following ranges:

Movies.dat

Format - MovieID::Title::Genres

Field Description
