Can we estimate the earnings of a movie ?

We attempted to find a way to estimate the earnings of a movie, depending on the company and the people being involved in it, including actors, directors and producers.

This was done as a final project for the NTDS course during the fall semester of 2018.

Prerequisites

You need to have a running version of python3 and here is a list of all the python packages you need to have:

jupyter notebook
numpy
json
pandas
matplotlib
scipy
networkx
math
pyunlocbox
sklearn

You can install all of this packages using the pip command, i.e. pip install jupyter, in your terminal.

Run the notebook

You are now ready to run the file notebook.ipynb with Jupyter.

To save computation time, all the time consuming operations, like adjacency or laplacian calculation, have already been computed and saved into the data folder. You can either use these files or delete them before running the notebook if you want all the matrices to be recomputed, both options giving nevertheless the same results.
