+ # 📦 Anime Recommender Dataset (Sentence-BERT Ready)
2
+
3
+ This dataset is a cleaned and preprocessed version of the [Top 15,000 Ranked Anime Dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/quanthan/top-15000-ranked-anime-dataset-update-to-32025) originally published on Kaggle by **Quan Than**. It is specifically prepared to be used for **semantic recommendation systems**, including transformer-based models like **Sentence-BERT**.

+ **Source:** [Kaggle - Top 15,000 Ranked Anime Dataset (updated to Mar 2025)](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/quanthan/top-15000-ranked-anime-dataset-update-to-32025)

15
+ ## 🔧 Modifications & Enhancements
16
+
17
+ The original dataset has been modified for better use in **AI-driven recommendation tasks**:
18
+
19
+ ### ✅ Column Cleanup
20
+ - Removed excessive trailing spaces and newline artifacts in all fields.
21
+ - Standardized formatting across fields like `genres`, `studios`, `producers`.
22
+
23
+ ### ✅ Feature Engineering
24
+ - Added a new column called **`combined_features`**, which concatenates the most relevant text fields:
25
+ - `genres`
26
+ - `type`
27
+ - `studios`
28
+ - `producers`
29
+ - `source`
30
+ - `rating`
31
+ - `synopsis`
32
+
33
+ This column is intended for use in embedding generation via NLP models (e.g. Sentence-BERT, TfidfVectorizer).
34
+
35
+ ### ✅ Consistency Fixes
36
+ - Ensured that all text fields are valid UTF-8.
37
+ - Filled missing or null values with empty strings (`''`) for compatibility with model pipelines.

41
+ ## 🧠 Use Case
42
+
43
+ This dataset is designed to be used in **content-based anime recommender systems**, especially those using **semantic similarity** techniques. Typical workflow:
44
+
45
+ 1. Load the `combined_features` column.
46
+ 2. Generate embeddings using a model like `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` (from `sentence-transformers`).
47
+ 3. Use cosine similarity to find top matches.
48
+ 4. Filter or rank based on score, popularity, or genre.
