TAGGING MENU ITEMS FROM USER REVIEWS

Intent:

- Two Searches not supported by Food based platforms
    > Best dishes of a restaurant as per customers
    > Best restaurants serving a particular dish

Proposed Solution:

- Get food mentions from user reviews for restaurants over Zomato
- Associate these mentions with menus of respective restaurants

How to Run:

1.Navigate to Zomato-Food-Review folder in terminal
2.Run localhost server using 'php -S localhost:8000'
3.On browser goto 'localhost:8000/UI/foodie.html', enjoy the platform :)

Data:

- Zomato API calls for dailymenu doesn't work, as restaurant menus as images
- Thus, we manually took menus of few restaurants as image to text was inefficient
- Also there is a limit of fetching reviews using Zomato API
- We thus, scraped reviews from zomato site, though we have a Zomato API wrapper

:Codebase Description-

zomato-api-wrapper/:

1.zomatoApiModule.py - a python wrapper to the zomato API
2.driver.py - driver file for zomatoApiModule.py classes

backend/:

1.menu_generator.py - Creates restaurant_id to name and menu mappings from menu.csv
2.readfile.py - Combine Review and Ratings for Individual restaurants
3.Match.py - Algorithms to match mentions with menu items
4.POStagger.py [Rule based NER] - Create food mentions from user reviews
4.Client.py - Creates Search by restaurant and Search by dishes mappings for UI.

6.Ratings/- Ratings by user reviews for restaurants

visualize/ [Create Visualization Inferences from data]:

1.visualize_1 - Relate Average Restaurant Price per dish, Words per review length
                and Restaurant Rating
2.visualize_2 - Relate Price, Popularity and Ratings of individual dishes
