Comparison of Selected Algorithms in Movie Recommender System

Recommender systems are currently very popular, and their main goal is to propose relevant content to users based on various parameters. The main goal of this paper is to create a comprehensive comparison of selected algorithms in movie recommender systems. The recommender system works with the MovieLens database. The main output of the proposed comparison is finding the best algorithm for selecting movies that are the most relevant to user preferences. The paper contains experimental verification of the performance of the proposed algorithms, with an emphasis on their evaluation based on metrics such as Precision, Recall and F1 score. The goal of the evaluation is to assess how well each algorithm performs in generating accurate and relevant recommendations. The testing process includes analysis of the results achieved on the test set of users.

Abstract

Recommender systems are currently very popular, and their main goal is to propose relevant content to users based on various parameters. The main goal of this paper is to create a comprehensive comparison of selected algorithms in movie recommender systems. The recommender system works with the MovieLens database. The main output of the proposed comparison is finding the best algorithm for selecting movies that are the most relevant to user preferences. The paper contains experimental verification of the performance of the proposed algorithms, with an emphasis on their evaluation based on metrics such as Precision, Recall and F1 score. The goal of the evaluation is to assess how well each algorithm performs in generating accurate and relevant recommendations. The testing process includes analysis of the results achieved on the test set of users.
