# 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.
