Hello Lemmings,

I’ve been working on a new anime recommendation algorithm the past 4 months and now I pretty much have the algorithm done.

To test the accuracy of the algorithm, I am requesting any MyAnimeList user with 50+ completed animes to post their MyAnimeList username along with their overall top 3 genres in descending order. This will then be compared to what the algorithm guessed.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Thanks a lot, guys. I finally released the project! You can find it here: https://github.com/Asudox/anote

Will algorithm be open source?

The guess is:

  1. Fantasy
  2. Adventure
  3. Action

So yeah, this is mostly because you watched more animes with those genres (or scored them better) than animes with the genres you specified. Thanks for participating.

I would be more than happy to help, but I don’t have any kind of tracking system for what I have watched. It’s something I have lamented in the weekly general threads before, but I just never feel up to spending the time to go back through the years and track it all.

Good luck!

Yes, MAL genres. The algorithm only uses those so I need your overall top 3 MAL genres in descending order. So the overall top 3 genres that you like the most. The first being your 1# favorite genre, the second one the 2# favorite genre and the third the 3# favorite genre.

Well i was more asking if it uses the themes they have on their site, because out of the 18 genres action adventure and fantasy will clearly be the ones i chose and whats selected because of the shitty system they have. If they could go deeper and select out of themese that would be cool, but i doubt it would be helpful since they dont use many tags on mal.

Thanks. The algorithm does not use themes, just genres. Though I could make it include them as well easily. Anyway, these are your selections, correct?:

  1. Action
  2. Adventure
  3. Fantasy

Great so, the guess for your animelist is:

  1. Action
  2. Fantasy
  3. Comedy

Good enough I guess.

  1. Psychological / Horror
  2. Mystery
  3. Action

My MAL isn’t complete sadly, as I only recently started adding the animes I watched, and I added mostly the ones I liked and remembered enough I watched in the past.

That’s okay. I’d also like to test it against small animelists.
