A recommendation system is a system that predicts an individual\u2019s preferred choices, based on available data. Recommendation systems are utilized in a variety of services, such as video streaming, online shopping, and social media. Typically, the system provides the recommendation to the users based on an item liked\/disliked, or movies watched by a user. Typically, a recommendation engine processes data through the following steps- Types of recommendation systems In this blog, we&#8217;re going to discuss a graph-based recommendation engine In general recommendation systems work offline. A process passes each user&#8217;s history to a set of algos and generates recommendations once in a while as per business use case. To understand the drawback of such a process, suppose a user searched for action movies and watched them, so typical offline systems recommend action movies when he will come next time. In this case, the system knows what a user is watching but not what he is about to watch and it can\u2019t accommodate this new knowledge. As a result, its subsequent results will not be interesting and the user is going to ignore them. Graph databases- The Saviour!! Before talking about a graph-based recommendation engine, we will see what is a graph database and how it can help overcome shortcomings to design a robust, scalable, and fast recommendation engine. Graph Database A graph database is a database designed to treat the relationships between data as equally important to the data itself. It is intended to hold data without constricting it to a pre-defined model. A graph database management system is an online database management system with Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) methods that expose a graph data model. In a graph data model, they don\u2019t have to infer data connections using things like foreign keys. Relationships can also be modeled by relational databases; but to traverse those relationships, we need to write SQL queries that JOIN tables together. The joining process is computationally expensive and becomes slower as the number of joins increases, which makes real-time analysis impractical in production. The graph database that we used is Neo4j. Neo4j is a native graph database platform, built from the ground up to leverage not only data but also data relationships. Neo4j connects data as it\u2019s stored, enabling queries never before imagined, at speeds never thought possible. Since relationships are made explicit by the edge elements, traversing the graph is both simple and inexpensive. As a result, relationship-based queries in real-time can be easily performed, we can quickly capture any new movies searched by users and interests shown in their current online visit, both of which are essential for making real-time recommendations. Graph databases use Nodes and relationships to store data so we have to define nodes and relationships. Nodes are the entities in the graph. They can hold any number of attributes (key-value pairs) called properties. Relationships provide directed, named, semantically relevant connections between two node entities (e.g., Employee WORKS_FOR Company). A relationship always has a direction, a type, a start node, and an end node. Like nodes, relationships can also have properties. Data The data used comes from various open sources consisting of millions of users and movies, shows, etc. User data contains information like unique user ID, favorite genres, watched movies, and rated movies by the user. Movie data consists of movie name, id, genres, actors, directors, image URL, etc. Based on the movie\/show name external APIs have been used to collect data related to movies\/shows like IMDB ratings, directors, writers, and producers to enrich the data.
