How it works

Method

Ratings are factored into film embeddings, then projected to 2D so similar films cluster together.

Data

Public research ratings data from GroupLens.

Model

Matrix factorization for the embeddings and UMAP for the layout.

Build

Pre-computed layout served as a static file, explored with pan, zoom and search.
