Streaming services such as Netflix, M-Go, and Hulu use advanced recommender systems to help their customers identify relevant content quickly and easily. These recommenders display the list of recommended movies organized in sublists labeled with the genre or some more specific labels. Unfortunately, existing methods to extract these labeled sublists require human annotators to manually label movies, which is time-consuming and biased by the views of annotators. In this paper, we design a method that relies on crowd sourced reviews to automatically identify groups of similar movies and label these groups. Our method takes the content of movie reviews available online as input for an algorithm based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) that identifies groups of similar movies. We separate the set of similar movies that share the same combination of genre in sublists and personalize the movies to show in each sublist using matrix factorization. The results of a side-by-side comparison of our method against Technicolor's M-Go VoD service are encouraging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
