Movie Genre Prediction Based on Plot Synopsis

Abstract

Movies have now become one of the main sources of entertainment for people. The extensive use of Internet has increased the creation and sharing of movie related data online. Movie plot summaries generally tell about the movie genres and many people read them before deciding to watch a movie. An automatic system can be applied to predict genres based on summaries. The objective dataset chosen by us consists of 14828 movies taken from Kaggle. We use different approaches such as TFIDF, Char gram, Skip gram etc to get better accuracy scores in predicting movie genre tags.
