Summary

Date Night is an app that uses the Entertainment Graph, a platform built on Neo4j, a native graph database, to provide personalized movie recommendations for couples. The app takes two movie suggestions from users and uses data relationships in The Entertainment Graph to suggest a list of movies both users will enjoy. The platform behind the magic is The Entertainment Graph, which connects music, books, games, movies, and TV through contributors, genres, and traits that give content meaning and context. Neo4j's graph database stores data as nodes connected by relationships, allowing for powerful analysis and recommendation engines. The first Date Night recommendation engine was developed using Cypher, a native graph query language, and has served over one million recommendation sets so far, with plans to demo the app at Digital Entertainment World.
