Optimizing User Satisfaction in Movie Recommendations Using Variable Learning Rates and Dynamic Neighborhood Functions in SOMs
Journal Title: International Journal of Experimental Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 41, Issue 5
Abstract
Customized movie recommendations are crucial in elevating user satisfaction and engagement in the era of vast online entertainment options. This study presents an innovative approach utilizing Enhanced Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) for movie categorization. SOMs, as unsupervised neural networks, are highly effective in recommendation systems due to their ability to identify intricate data patterns accurately. The proposed method involves collecting user-movie interaction data, such as user ratings and movie attributes. Data standardization is performed to ensure consistency before training the refined SOM. By integrating variable learning rates and dynamic Neighborhood functions, the advanced SOM can uncover complex patterns within datasets, thus enhancing the accuracy of personalized movie recommendations by identifying meaningful connections between users and films. To further improve recommendation quality, hybrid filtering techniques are employed, combining content-based filtering, which considers movie characteristics like genre and description, with collaborative filtering algorithms that analyze user-item interactions to expand the range of recommended films. This integrated approach allows for the generation of user-movie matrices by employing SVD collaborative filtering to give precedence to movie recommendations. The hybrid technique demonstrates superior performance compared to earlier models, attaining an RMSE of 0.410, MAE of 0.211, precision of 92.09%, recall of 93.12%, and an F1-score of 92.15%, consequently offering very accurate movie recommendations. Subsequent studies could concentrate on improving personalised recommendations by integrating supplementary contextual data.
