The MovieLens datasets, first released in 1998, describe people’s expressed preferences for movies. These preferences take the form of tuples, each the result of a person expressing a preference (a 0-5 star rating) for a movie at a particular time. These preferences were entered by way of the MovieLens web site1 — a recommender system that asks its users to give movie ratings in order to receive personalized movie recommendations.

Genre annotations for movies The file genre2movies.csv contains genre-movie tuples based on Wikidata annotations (https://www.wikidata.org/). Data Each line in genre2movies.csv represents one genre-movie tuple. The first entry is the genre. The second entry of each line is the movie name. There are 83,670 genre-movie tuples. Joining with the Movielens 20M dataset The movies considered are from the Movielens 20M corpus: https://grouplens.org/datasets/movielens/20m/ The movie names in genre2movies.csv match the movie 'titles' in Movielens 20M. Compositions The directory "compositions" contains movies assigned to compositions of genres. The compositions are of the form: "genre A and genre B", "genre A and not genre B", "genre A and genre B and genre C", "genre A and genre B and not genre C". These assignments have been automatically generated from genre2movies.csv. We try to generate genre-compositions that are useful, e.g., for a "genre A and genre B" composition we ensure that genre B is not a subgenre of genre A, because an interesection of a superset with a subset is identical to the subset and does not form a new concept.
