“Video on Demand” this means download and view the desired film at the desired time with any internet service. As simple as it sounds, as soon it spreads. The fast spread of “Video on Demand” requires a clear and simple use, which is the main goal of the project “SeEmAFil”. Since April 2015, the DAI-Labor is working on a recommendation system that makes the access to the available content easier and provides an user-friendly operation. Users should be informed and advised in the search and selection of films. The project will end up in April 2018.

The Competence Center “Information Retrieval & Machine Learning” (CC IRML) at DAI-Labor is responsible for the implementation of this project. Their focus is on the recommendations of “Arthouse on Demand”, which offers more than just a cinema program. It offers a variety of genres, multilingualism, the novel ‘straight-to-digital’ segment and the ‘live’ element, all of that will be considered in this recommendation system.
