Okay whatever algorithm you're using seems to not reduce the recommendation strength for stuff with less liked genres/tags (for example, I am getting a lot of ecchi recommendations)
...Say, do you only fixate on the count of entries with certain genres/tags and not the scores of those entries?
The recommendations for me fixated on male/female protagonist, ensemble cast, comedy and drama as reasons (the only one there that actually matters is ensemble cast) while genres and tags like mystery, psychological and band were nowhere to be seen...
hey @Rinko thanks for the feedback!
The explanation for the recommendation will need to be tweaked but the main recommendation algorithm is building a like and dislike vector according to user's watched anime and what score they've put
I suppose I can add a include / exclude genre filter if that would help get better recommendations
The way it's calculated definitely needs some work, then... in general the recommendations were really random with next-to-nothing that looked anything like what my preferences clearly are...
Placing less value on exceptionally common genres and tags (drama, the protagonist tags) in the algorithm might help.
And indeed a way to filter out results with certain genres/tags would be useful, though ideally shows with genres/tags one is adverse to shouldn't crop up that much in the first place.
Hello @Rinko, thanks again for your precious feedback
I have made some major changes in the recommendation algorithm, weighted tags, multi vector similarity and better balance of signals
Please do try it out, and let me know what you think of it!
Thanks !
Ah, based on the numbers of certain tags/genres it seems like you haven't filtered out duplicates from custom lists ^^' I've no clue how muvh that impacts things but probably does to some extent.
Also, shows in planning are taken into account for the recommendation point of "similar feel to"...? To the point most shows name one... I'd expected it to just be decently high scoring watched shows named there... two, no, three here are recommended as the sequels to shows on my planning, basically, and another is recommended for a show on my planning that's related to something I despised.
On the whole the tag and genre matches seem much better, and even with these flaws (and the amount of Hibike but fair enough) it has actually helped me a fair bit~
Hello @Rinko I am glad anireco was able to help you!
Your feedbacks are super helpful and I really appreciate them :))
I didn't know about the custom list feature, I have added deduplication to fix tags multi counting due to custom lists
Planning shows are not taken into account now, I have added filter and preferences options, where sequels is off by default
In case anyone wants to see sequels anireco will only recommend sequel if user has a completed entry as the last node in a franchise, and not if they have a series in that franchise as planning / watching etc
I hope you like the new changes!
Thanks!
