This is a toy dataset created for pegagogical purposes, and is used in the Working with embeddings Workshop created and organized by the AI Service Center Berlin-Brandenburg at the Hasso Plattner Institute.
Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
We want to provide with this dataset a fast way of obtaining the required data for our workshops without having to download huge datasets with just way too much information.
Source Data
Our source is Kaggle's The Movie Dataset, so the information comes from the MovieLens Dataset. The dataset consists of movies released on or before July 2017.
Data Collection and Processing
The data was downloaded from Kaggle as a zip file. The file movies_metadata.csv was then extracted. The data was processed with the following code:
import pandas as pd
# load the csv file
df = pd.read_csv("movies_metadata.csv", low_memory=False)
# filter movies according to:
# - vote average of at least 6
# - more than 100 votes
# - revenue over 2M$
df = df.loc[(df.vote_average >= 6)&(df.vote_count > 100)&(df.revenue > 2e6)]
# select the required columns, drop rows with missing values and
# reset the index
df = df.loc[:, ['title', 'release_date', 'overview']]
df = df.dropna(axis=0).reset_index(drop=True)
# make a new column with the release year
df.loc[:, 'release_year'] = pd.to_datetime(df.release_date).dt.year
# select the columns in the desired order
df = df.loc[:, ['title', 'release_year', 'overview']]
# save the data to parquet
df.to_parquet('descriptors_data.parquet')
Who are the source data producers?
The source dataset is an ensemble of data collected by Rounak Banik from TMDB and GroupLens. In particular, the movies metadata has been collected from the TMDB Open API, but the source dataset is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
