# 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). The video below
|
|
demonstrates the web application in action:

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/).

|
$ go install foosoft.net/projects/restaurant-search@latest
|
|
```
|
|
3. Install the client libraries (from the `search/static` directory):
|
|
```
|
|
$ bower install
