MAL Anime Score Predictions
A prediction stack that blends text features, metadata, classical ML, and a lightweight React UI to estimate MyAnimeList scores more reliably.
This project pairs a Python modeling pipeline with a small React front end. The backend cleans MyAnimeList data, turns synopses into TF-IDF features, combines those with metadata, and trains multiple models for score prediction.
I treated it as a practical experimentation environment, so the work emphasized leakage-safe validation, useful feature engineering, and repeatable model comparison rather than novelty for its own sake.
The frontend gives the models a cleaner face with an anime card grid, score badges, and CSV export so the results are easier to inspect and share.
