recommendations

[chu-andrew]

Description

• Implements a basic version of the recommendation system that I drafted here:
  Recommendation System Planning
  • justification for changes and chosen const value of VALUE_OF_SECOND is written in doc
• Basic implementation of interest, preference, and transit scoring system
• Further development of scoring systems and integration with application will be completed in future PRs.

Milestones

This PR works toward the following stories:

• As a Matador user, I want to be able to search for specific terms (e.g. “parks”) and apply filters such as maximum transit cost and maximum transit time.
• As a Matador user, I want to be able to specify whether my transit cost preferences are strong or soft, and whether my transit time preferences are strong or soft.
• As a Matador user, I want to receive recommendations for places of interest in an order that optimizes my interest, money, and time.

Resources

• [Bug] Typescript - Could not find a declaration file for module '@xenova/transformers' huggingface/transformers.js#80
  • used to fix an issue with importing transformer.js library

Maybe you could make a const list in the fetching utils which includes which fields are considered "accessibility". Then in this function use the length of that list. (That way if you add/remove some fields, you don't need to worry about updating the value in this file as well)
