Indian Regional Movie Dataset for Recommender Systems
Indian regional movie dataset is the first database of regional Indian movies, users and their ratings. It consists of movies belonging to 18 different Indian regional languages and metadata of users with varying demographics. Through this dataset, the diversity of Indian regional cinema and its huge viewership is captured. We analyze the dataset that contains roughly 10K ratings of 919 users and 2,851 movies using some supervised and unsupervised collaborative filtering techniques like Probabilistic Matrix Factorization, Matrix Completion, Blind Compressed Sensing etc. The dataset consists of metadata information of users like age, occupation, home state and known languages. It also consists of metadata of movies like genre, language, release year and cast. India has a wide base of viewers which is evident by the large number of movies released every year and the huge box-office revenue. This dataset can be used for designing recommendation systems for Indian users and regional movies, which do not, yet, exist. The dataset can be downloaded from https://goo.gl/EmTPv6https://goo.gl/EmTPv6.
