Getting a subtitle collection for neural network genre classification for Bachelor Thesis

Hi everyone,

For my Bachelor Thesis for uni I'm trying to predict a movie's genre by solely using the subtitles. This will be done with neural networks. The issue I've got right now is that the amount of data I need is rather large. Downloading by hand is not really an option. I am aware there is an API for this site but I believe this is aimed more at requesting individual subtitles instead of a huge collection, also having the request limit. If there is a better way to get such a collection, or if the API is still the way to go, I would be amazingly grateful for this.

Let me know if there is a possibility to do this via this site!

Thanks a lot in advance,
Stef

I think you should write a PM message to the superadmin oss: https://forum.opensubtitles.org/ucp.php ... ompose&u=2
He might be able to help you with this.
