+
+# Building a Simple Similar Movies Recommender System
+
+## Why?
+
+I recently came across a movie/tv-show recommender, [couchmoney.tv](https://couchmoney.tv/). I loved it. I decided that I wanted to build something similar, so I could tinker with it as much as I wanted.
+
+I also wanted a recommendation system I could use via a REST API. Although I have not included that part in this post, I did eventually create it.
+
+
+## How?
+
+By measuring the cosine of the angle between two vectors, you can get a value in the range [0,1] with 0 meaning no similarity. Now, if we find a way to represent information about movies as a vector, we can use cosine similarity as a metric to find similar movies.
+
+As we are recommending just based on the content of the movies, this is called a content based recommendation system.
+
+## Data Collection
+
+Trakt exposes a nice API to search for movies/tv-shows. To access the API, you first need to get an API key (the Trakt ID you get when you create a new application).
+
+I decided to use SQL-Alchemy with a SQLite backend just to make my life easier if I decided on switching to Postgres anytime I felt like.
+
+First, I needed to check the total number of records in Trakt’s database.
+
+```python
+import requests
+import os
+
+trakt_id = os.getenv("TRAKT_ID")
+
+api_base = "https://api.trakt.tv"
+
+headers = {
+ "Content-Type": "application/json",
+ "trakt-api-version": "2",
+ "trakt-api-key": trakt_id
+}
+
+params = {
+ "query": "",
+ "years": "1900-2021",
+ "page": "1",
+ "extended": "full",
+ "languages": "en"
+}
+
+res = requests.get(f"{api_base}/search/movie",headers=headers,params=params)
+total_items = res.headers["x-pagination-item-count"]
+print(f"There are {total_items} movies")
+```
+
+```
+There are 333946 movies
+```
+
+First, I needed to declare the database schema in (`database.py`):
+
+```python
+import sqlalchemy
+from sqlalchemy import create_engine
+from sqlalchemy import Table, Column, Integer, String, MetaData, ForeignKey, PickleType
+from sqlalchemy import insert
+from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
+from sqlalchemy.exc import IntegrityError
+
+meta = MetaData()
+
+movies_table = Table(
+ "movies",
+ meta,
+ Column("trakt_id", Integer, primary_key=True, autoincrement=False),
+ Column("title", String),
+ Column("overview", String),
+ Column("genres", String),
+ Column("year", Integer),
+ Column("released", String),
+ Column("runtime", Integer),
+ Column("country", String),
+ Column("language", String),
+ Column("rating", Integer),
+ Column("votes", Integer),
+ Column("comment_count", Integer),
+ Column("tagline", String),
+ Column("embeddings", PickleType)
+
+)
+
+# Helper function to connect to the db
+def init_db_stuff(database_url: str):
+ engine = create_engine(database_url)
+ meta.create_all(engine)
+ Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
+ return engine, Session
+```
+
+In the end, I could have dropped the embeddings field from the table schema as I never got around to using it.
+
+### Scripting Time
+
+```python
+from database import *
+from tqdm import tqdm
+import requests
+import os
+
+trakt_id = os.getenv("TRAKT_ID")
+
+max_requests = 5000 # How many requests I wanted to wrap everything up in
+req_count = 0 # A counter for how many requests I have made
+
+years = "1900-2021"
+page = 1 # The initial page number for the search
+extended = "full" # Required to get additional information
+limit = "10" # No of entires per request -- This will be automatically picked based on max_requests
+languages = "en" # Limit to English
+
+api_base = "https://api.trakt.tv"
+database_url = "sqlite:///jlm.db"
+
+headers = {
+ "Content-Type": "application/json",
+ "trakt-api-version": "2",
+ "trakt-api-key": trakt_id
+}
+
+params = {
+ "query": "",
+ "years": years,
+ "page": page,
+ "extended": extended,
+ "limit": limit,
+ "languages": languages
+}
+
+# Helper function to get desirable values from the response
+def create_movie_dict(movie: dict):
+ m = movie["movie"]
+ movie_dict = {
+ "title": m["title"],
+ "overview": m["overview"],
+ "genres": m["genres"],
+ "language": m["language"],
+ "year": int(m["year"]),
+ "trakt_id": m["ids"]["trakt"],
+ "released": m["released"],
+ "runtime": int(m["runtime"]),
+ "country": m["country"],
+ "rating": int(m["rating"]),
+ "votes": int(m["votes"]),
+ "comment_count": int(m["comment_count"]),
+ "tagline": m["tagline"]
+ }
+ return movie_dict
+
+# Get total number of items
+params["limit"] = 1
+res = requests.get(f"{api_base}/search/movie",headers=headers,params=params)
+total_items = res.headers["x-pagination-item-count"]
+
+engine, Session = init_db_stuff(database_url)
+
+
+for page in tqdm(range(1,max_requests+1)):
+ params["page"] = page
+ params["limit"] = int(int(total_items)/max_requests)
+ movies = []
+ res = requests.get(f"{api_base}/search/movie",headers=headers,params=params)
+
+ if res.status_code == 500:
+ break
+ elif res.status_code == 200:
+ None
+ else:
+ print(f"OwO Code {res.status_code}")
+
+ for movie in res.json():
+ movies.append(create_movie_dict(movie))
+
+ with engine.connect() as conn:
+ for movie in movies:
+ with conn.begin() as trans:
+ stmt = insert(movies_table).values(
+ trakt_id=movie["trakt_id"], title=movie["title"], genres=" ".join(movie["genres"]),
+ language=movie["language"], year=movie["year"], released=movie["released"],
+ runtime=movie["runtime"], country=movie["country"], overview=movie["overview"],
+ rating=movie["rating"], votes=movie["votes"], comment_count=movie["comment_count"],
+ tagline=movie["tagline"])
+ try:
+ result = conn.execute(stmt)
+ trans.commit()
+ except IntegrityError:
+ trans.rollback()
+ req_count += 1
+```
+
+(Note: I was well within the rate-limit so I did not have to slow down or implement any other measures)
+
+Running this script took me approximately 3 hours, and resulted in an SQLite database of 141.5 MB
+
+## Embeddings!
+
+I did not want to put my poor Mac through the estimated 23 hours it would have taken to embed the sentences. I decided to use Google Colab instead.
+
+Because of the small size of the database file, I was able to just upload the file.
+
+For the encoding model, I decided to use the pretrained `paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2` model for SentenceTransformers, a Python framework for SOTA sentence, text and image embeddings. I wanted to use a multilingual model as I personally consume content in various languages (natively, no dubs or subs) and some of the sources for their information do not translate to English. As of writing this post, I did not include any other database except Trakt.
+
+While deciding how I was going to process the embeddings, I came across multiple solutions:
+
+* [Milvus](https://milvus.io) - An open-source vector database with similar search functionality
+
+* [FAISS](https://faiss.ai) - A library for efficient similarity search
+
+* [Pinecone](https://pinecone.io) - A fully managed vector database with similar search functionality
+
+I did not want to waste time setting up the first two, so I decided to go with Pinecone which offers 1M 768-dim vectors for free with no credit card required (Our embeddings are 384-dim dense).
+
+Getting started with Pinecone was as easy as:
+
+* Signing up
+
+* Specifying the index name and vector dimensions along with the similarity search metric (Cosine Similarity for our use case)
+
+* Getting the API key
+
+* Installing the Python module (pinecone-client)
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+import pinecone
+from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
+from tqdm import tqdm
+
+database_url = "sqlite:///jlm.db"
+PINECONE_KEY = "not-this-at-all"
+batch_size = 32
+
+pinecone.init(api_key=PINECONE_KEY, environment="us-west1-gcp")
+index = pinecone.Index("movies")
+
+model = SentenceTransformer("paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2", device="cuda")
+engine, Session = init_db_stuff(database_url)
+
+df = pd.read_sql("Select * from movies", engine)
+df["combined_text"] = df["title"] + ": " + df["overview"].fillna('') + " - " + df["tagline"].fillna('') + " Genres:- " + df["genres"].fillna('')
+
+# Creating the embedding and inserting it into the database
+for x in tqdm(range(0,len(df),batch_size)):
+ to_send = []
+ trakt_ids = df["trakt_id"][x:x+batch_size].tolist()
+ sentences = df["combined_text"][x:x+batch_size].tolist()
+ embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
+ for idx, value in enumerate(trakt_ids):
+ to_send.append(
+ (
+ str(value), embeddings[idx].tolist()
+ ))
+ index.upsert(to_send)
+```
+
+That's it!
+
+## Interacting with Vectors
+
+We use the `trakt_id` for the movie as the ID for the vectors and upsert it into the index.
+
+To find similar items, we will first have to map the name of the movie to its trakt_id, get the embeddings we have for that id and then perform a similarity search. It is possible that this additional step of mapping could be avoided by storing information as metadata in the index.
+
+```python
+def get_trakt_id(df, title: str):
+ rec = df[df["title"].str.lower()==movie_name.lower()]
+ if len(rec.trakt_id.values.tolist()) > 1:
+ print(f"multiple values found... {len(rec.trakt_id.values)}")
+ for x in range(len(rec)):
+ print(f"[{x}] {rec['title'].tolist()[x]} ({rec['year'].tolist()[x]}) - {rec['overview'].tolist()}")
+ print("===")
+ z = int(input("Choose No: "))
+ return rec.trakt_id.values[z]
+ return rec.trakt_id.values[0]
+
+def get_vector_value(trakt_id: int):
+ fetch_response = index.fetch(ids=[str(trakt_id)])
+ return fetch_response["vectors"][str(trakt_id)]["values"]
+
+def query_vectors(vector: list, top_k: int = 20, include_values: bool = False, include_metada: bool = True):
+ query_response = index.query(
+ queries=[
+ (vector),
+ ],
+ top_k=top_k,
+ include_values=include_values,
+ include_metadata=include_metada
+ )
+ return query_response
+
+def query2ids(query_response):
+ trakt_ids = []
+ for match in query_response["results"][0]["matches"]:
+ trakt_ids.append(int(match["id"]))
+ return trakt_ids
+
+def get_deets_by_trakt_id(df, trakt_id: int):
+ df = df[df["trakt_id"]==trakt_id]
+ return {
+ "title": df.title.values[0],
+ "overview": df.overview.values[0],
+ "runtime": df.runtime.values[0],
+ "year": df.year.values[0]
+ }
+```
+
+### Testing it Out
+
+```python
+movie_name = "Now You See Me"
+
+movie_trakt_id = get_trakt_id(df, movie_name)
+print(movie_trakt_id)
+movie_vector = get_vector_value(movie_trakt_id)
+movie_queries = query_vectors(movie_vector)
+movie_ids = query2ids(movie_queries)
+print(movie_ids)
+
+for trakt_id in movie_ids:
+ deets = get_deets_by_trakt_id(df, trakt_id)
+ print(f"{deets['title']} ({deets['year']}): {deets['overview']}")
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```

+## Simple UI
+
+The code for the flask app can be found on GitHub: [navanchauhan/FlixRec](https://github.com/navanchauhan/FlixRec) or on my [Gitea instance](https://pi4.navan.dev/gitea/navan/FlixRec)
+
+I quickly whipped up a simple Flask App to deal with problems of multiple movies sharing the title, and typos in the search query.

+
+<p>(Note: I was well within the rate-limit so I did not have to slow down or implement any other measures)</p>
+
+<p>Running this script took me approximately 3 hours, and resulted in an SQLite database of 141.5 MB</p>
+
+<h2>Embeddings!</h2>
+
+<p>I did not want to put my poor Mac through the estimated 23 hours it would have taken to embed the sentences. I decided to use Google Colab instead.</p>
+
+<p>Because of the small size of the database file, I was able to just upload the file.</p>
+
+<p>For the encoding model, I decided to use the pretrained <code>paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2</code> model for SentenceTransformers, a Python framework for SOTA sentence, text and image embeddings. I wanted to use a multilingual model as I personally consume content in various languages (natively, no dubs or subs) and some of the sources for their information do not translate to English. As of writing this post, I did not include any other database except Trakt. </p>
+
+<p>While deciding how I was going to process the embeddings, I came across multiple solutions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><p><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://milvus.io">Milvus</a> - An open-source vector database with similar search functionality</p></li>
+<li><p><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://faiss.ai">FAISS</a> - A library for efficient similarity search</p></li>
+<li><p><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://pinecone.io">Pinecone</a> - A fully managed vector database with similar search functionality</p></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>I did not want to waste time setting up the first two, so I decided to go with Pinecone which offers 1M 768-dim vectors for free with no credit card required (Our embeddings are 384-dim dense).</p>
+
+<p>Getting started with Pinecone was as easy as:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><p>Signing up</p></li>
+<li><p>Specifying the index name and vector dimensions along with the similarity search metric (Cosine Similarity for our use case)</p></li>
+<li><p>Getting the API key</p></li>
+<li><p>Installing the Python module (pinecone-client)</p></li>
+</ul>

+<h2>Interacting with Vectors</h2>
+
+<p>We use the <code>trakt_id</code> for the movie as the ID for the vectors and upsert it into the index. </p>
+
+<p>To find similar items, we will first have to map the name of the movie to its trakt_id, get the embeddings we have for that id and then perform a similarity search. It is possible that this additional step of mapping could be avoided by storing information as metadata in the index.</p>

+ <h1>Building a Simple Similar Movies Recommender System</h1>
+
+<h2>Why?</h2>
+
+<p>I recently came across a movie/tv-show recommender, <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://couchmoney.tv/">couchmoney.tv</a>. I loved it. I decided that I wanted to build something similar, so I could tinker with it as much as I wanted.</p>
+
+<p>I also wanted a recommendation system I could use via a REST API. Although I have not included that part in this post, I did eventually create it.</p>
+
+<h2>How?</h2>
+
+<p>By measuring the cosine of the angle between two vectors, you can get a value in the range [0,1] with 0 meaning no similarity. Now, if we find a way to represent information about movies as a vector, we can use cosine similarity as a metric to find similar movies.</p>
+
+<p>As we are recommending just based on the content of the movies, this is called a content based recommendation system.</p>
+
+<h2>Data Collection</h2>
+
+<p>Trakt exposes a nice API to search for movies/tv-shows. To access the API, you first need to get an API key (the Trakt ID you get when you create a new application). </p>
+
+<p>I decided to use SQL-Alchemy with a SQLite backend just to make my life easier if I decided on switching to Postgres anytime I felt like. </p>
+
+<p>First, I needed to check the total number of records in Trakt’s database.</p>

+
+<p>(Note: I was well within the rate-limit so I did not have to slow down or implement any other measures)</p>
+
+<p>Running this script took me approximately 3 hours, and resulted in an SQLite database of 141.5 MB</p>
+
+<h2>Embeddings!</h2>
+
+<p>I did not want to put my poor Mac through the estimated 23 hours it would have taken to embed the sentences. I decided to use Google Colab instead.</p>
+
+<p>Because of the small size of the database file, I was able to just upload the file.</p>
+
+<p>For the encoding model, I decided to use the pretrained <code>paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2</code> model for SentenceTransformers, a Python framework for SOTA sentence, text and image embeddings. I wanted to use a multilingual model as I personally consume content in various languages (natively, no dubs or subs) and some of the sources for their information do not translate to English. As of writing this post, I did not include any other database except Trakt. </p>
+
+<p>While deciding how I was going to process the embeddings, I came across multiple solutions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><p><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://milvus.io">Milvus</a> - An open-source vector database with similar search functionality</p></li>
+<li><p><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://faiss.ai">FAISS</a> - A library for efficient similarity search</p></li>
+<li><p><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://pinecone.io">Pinecone</a> - A fully managed vector database with similar search functionality</p></li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>I did not want to waste time setting up the first two, so I decided to go with Pinecone which offers 1M 768-dim vectors for free with no credit card required (Our embeddings are 384-dim dense).</p>
+
+<p>Getting started with Pinecone was as easy as:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><p>Signing up</p></li>
+<li><p>Specifying the index name and vector dimensions along with the similarity search metric (Cosine Similarity for our use case)</p></li>
+<li><p>Getting the API key</p></li>
+<li><p>Installing the Python module (pinecone-client)</p></li>

+<h2>Interacting with Vectors</h2>
+
+<p>We use the <code>trakt_id</code> for the movie as the ID for the vectors and upsert it into the index. </p>
+
+<p>To find similar items, we will first have to map the name of the movie to its trakt_id, get the embeddings we have for that id and then perform a similarity search. It is possible that this additional step of mapping could be avoided by storing information as metadata in the index.</p>
