Anime Recommender System

A recommendation is only as good as the pipeline delivering its data.

Python Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Talend ETL Docker Containerization Collaborative Filtering

The Challenge

Content recommendation engines face two primary challenges: cold-start content discovery and real-world deployment complexity. Most tutorial systems focus only on offline algorithm scoring in a notebook without addressing how raw data gets extracted, cleaned, loaded into an enterprise warehouse, and served via containerized microservices.

This project was engineered to simulate a full production pipeline: ingesting millions of user ratings, transforming them with Talend ETL into an Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, training collaborative filtering models in Python, and serving recommendations from a Dockerized microservice.

Data Pipeline & MLOps

Connecting data engineering with applied machine learning across four discrete stages:

01 Raw Rating & Metadata Extraction
02 Talend ETL Processing → Oracle ADW
03 Collaborative Filtering Model Training
04 Docker Image Build & Oracle Cloud Deploy

Recorded Demonstration

Screen recording demonstrating database connections, model scoring, and the interactive web recommendation output.
