A smart movie recommendation system

Abstract

We propose a movie recommendation system based on genre correlations. We modify the previous algorithm; we use a list of movies as input instead of genre combinations. We implement a new recommendation algorithm as Android application with additional functions. By combining with existing web services such as Google Movie Showtimes and Open APIs, our system can recommend movies playing in cinemas currently and show the detailed information of movies. Location-based function is also implemented. We utilize GPS information of mobile device and web service provided by Google Maps for recommending suitable cinemas for users with mobile devices. ？ 2011 Springer-Verlag.
