Actor Recommender

A system that, when given a role description, returns a short list of actors who fit that role.

We achieved this by:

• Finding, Cleaning, and Processing data on actors and movies
• Utilizing BERT-based natural language processing model
• Using cosine similarity to find matches
• Implementing preference characteristics
• Simple UI for usability and testing

Streamlit App

The project includes a very simple UI built with Streamlit.
