Recommendation System
Social network
Movies social network Users rate movies People act in movies
People direct movies Users follow other users
Movies social network How do we model it?
Movies social network Follow Rate {stars} User Film User Actor
Director Act in Direct
Movies social network MATCH (fran:User {name: ‘Fran’}) -[or:Rate]-> (pf:Film {title:
‘Pulp Fiction’}), ! (pf)<-[:Rate]-(other_users)-[:Rate]->(other_films) ! RETURN distinct other_films.title;
Movies social network Rate {stars} Rate {stars} User 1 Film
PF Fran User 2 Rate {stars} Film Film Rate {stars} Rate {stars}
Movies social network MATCH (fran:User {name: ‘Fran’}) -[or:Rate]-> (pf:Film {title:
‘Pulp Fiction’}), ! (pf)<-[:Rate]-(other_users)-[r:Rate]->(other_films) ! WHERE or.stars = r.stars ! RETURN distinct other_films.title;
Movies social network MATCH (fran:User {name: ‘Fran’}) -[or:Rate]-> (pf:Film {title:

Movies social network Rate {star} User 1 Film PF Fran
