Using this knowledge, Funk SVD and SVD++ are compared by the accuracy of their predictions of Twitch streamer data.<br/><br/>Introduction<br/>As watching video games is becoming more popular, those interested are becoming interested in Twitch.tv, an online platform for guests to watch streamers play video games and interact with them. A streamer is an person who broadcasts them-self playing a video game or some other thing for an audience (the guests of the website.) The site allows the guest to first select the game/category to view and then displays currently active streamers for the guest to select and watch. Twitch records the games that a streamer plays along with the amount of time that a streamer spends streaming that game. This is how the score is generated for a streamer’s game. These three terms form the streamer-game-score (user-item-rating) tuples that we use to train out models. <br/>The our problem’s solution is similar to the purpose of the Netflix prize; however, as opposed to suggesting a user a movie, the goal is to suggest a user a game. We built a model to predict the score that a streamer will have for a game. The score field in our data is fundamentally different from a movie rating in Netflix because the way a user influences a game’s score is by actively streaming it, not by giving it an score based off opinion. The dataset being used it the Twitch.tv dataset provided by Isaac Jones [1]. Also, the only data used in training the models is in the form of the streamer-game-score (user-item-rating) tuples. It will be known if these data points with limited information will be able to give an accurate prediction of a streamer’s score for a game. SVD and SVD++ are the baseis of the models being trained and tested. Scikit’s Surprise library in Python3 is used for the implementation of the models.
