Inspiration
- You just finished another great anime (Black Butler perhaps? Blue Exorcist or maybe Death Note?)
- And you're looking for another anime to jump into?
- Well you've come to the right place!
- Head over to myanimebutler.co to find another great anime to dive into!
- Start clicking on the titles of different animes that you loved watching
- Our algorithm will give you the perfect anime based on your taste
What it does
- You give it Anime you loved in the past
- MyAnimeButler will give you anime you will love in the future
How we built it
- Found a dataset on anime and their user ratings by scouring the internet
- Wrangled the dataset containing 1 million + values for a format suitable for a web application
- Built ranking algorithms to find the users that are most similar to a new user given the anime they all liked
- Built recommendation algorithms to suggest an anime the new user will like
- Deployed in a web application, created with the Flask framework in Python
Challenges we ran into
- the data is inconsistent because we dropped some rows due to the memory limits of our computer
- this required us to add a lot of error handling
Accomplishments that we are proud of
- building something from scratch in one weekend
- creating a usable minimum viable product
What we learned
- time management is very important and needs to be thought more of in the future
What's next for MyAnimeButler
- improving the user interface
- increasing amount of data in the algorithm
