Recommender Systems with Machine Learning - Exploring Genres in Content-Based Filtering

The video tutorial covers data cleaning and analysis techniques for a movie dataset. It begins by introducing variables and handling missing genres, followed by dropping entries without genres to enhance data quality. The tutorial then addresses formatting issues by replacing lines with spaces in the genres column. It proceeds to count the occurrences of each genre using nested loops and visualizes the data with matplotlib bar plots. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of calculating term frequency and inverse document frequency.

What is the initial step taken to handle movies without genres in the dataset?

• Replace missing genres with 'Unknown'

• Drop the entries without genres

• Leave the entries as they are

• Fill missing genres with the most common genre

After dropping entries without genres, what is the next step performed on the dataset?

• Reset the index of the dataset

• Sort the dataset by title

• Merge with another dataset

• Add a new column for ratings

What is the purpose of resetting the index after dropping entries?

• To sort the dataset

• To remove duplicate entries

• To maintain a continuous index

• To add new columns

What issue is addressed by replacing straight lines in the genres column?

• Duplicate genre entries

• Incorrect genre names

• Missing genre entries

• Formatting inconsistencies

What is the result of replacing straight lines with spaces in the genres column?

• Genres are duplicated

• Genres are removed

• Genres are split correctly

• Genres are merged

What is the initial length of the dataset before dropping entries without genres?

• 9742

• 9708

• 9500

• 10000

How are the occurrences of each genre counted in the dataset?

• Using a single for loop

• Using a nested for loop

• Using a while loop

• Using a map function

Which library is used to visualize the genre counts?

• Seaborn

• Pandas

• Plotly

• Matplotlib

What is the color of the bars in the genre count visualization?

• Blue

• Yellow

• Green

• Red

What is the significance of calculating term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF)?

• To measure the importance of genres

• To visualize genre distribution

• To find the most popular genre

• To identify rare genres
