A
hybrid recommendation
system for generating personalized film recommendations, the
system comprising the following: a
processing unit for receiving
metadata, configured to receive descriptive data related to films, the descriptive data including plot summaries, genre identifiers, cast lists and director names; a text preprocessing module that is communicatively coupled with the
metadata ingestion processing unit and is configured to perform tokenization, stopword removal,
stemming, and lemmatization on the descriptive data to obtain a processed corpus; a TF-IDF vectorization unit configured to
encode the processed corpus into high-dimensional
semantic feature vectors by calculating TF-IDF inverse document frequency values over the entire film dataset, with the
semantic feature vectors representing the contextual meaning of terms for individual films; a collaborative filter engine comprising a user-element interaction matrix, wherein the engine is configured to compute latent preference signals using one or more techniques selected from the group consisting of
cosine similarity, k-nearest neighbor similarity, and matrix factorization; a
score fusion controller coupled to both the TF-IDF vectorization unit and the collaborative filter engine, wherein the module is configured to normalize the
semantic feature vectors and the collaborative preference scores and dynamically combine them according to an
adaptive weighting coefficient, the coefficient being determined as a function of
data density, interaction sparsity, and user history length; and a recommendation output module configured to evaluate candidate films for each user based on the combined
score and generate a top-N recommendation
list.
