# Restaurant Search This project is a prototype semantic search web application that I developed as part of my master's thesis at [Keio University](http://www.sfc.keio.ac.jp/). I presented the results of my research at [iiWAS 2015](http://www.iiwas.org/conferences/iiwas2015/home) in Brussels, Belgium. My article, titled [Restaurant Search with Predictive Multispace Queries](dl/article.pdf) was published in the in the [ACM International Conference Proceeding Series](https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2837185&picked=prox&cfid=817523401&cftoken=92411506). You can get a better understanding of the goals of this experimental search system by referring to the [overview presentation](dl/slides.zip); it provides a brief overview of the points covered in my article. Although I no longer make the prototype accessible on the web, it is easy to get it up and running locally by following the instructions below. ## Installation 1. Install the dependencies: [Bower](https://bower.io/), [Go](https://golang.org/), and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/). 2. Install the search application: ``` $ go get github.com/FooSoft/restaurant-search ``` 3. Install the client libraries (from the `search/static` directory): ``` $ bower install ``` 4. Build and start the server (from the `search/cmd` directory): ``` $ go build $ ./cmd ``` 5. Access the web application at `localhost:8080`.
