Restaurant Search

This work-in-progress represents a prototype semantic search application that I'm developing as part of my master's thesis at Keio University. You can get a better understanding of the goals of this system by referring to the overview presentation. The prototype is open-source and those who are interested are encouraged to clone the project and tinker with it. You may also access a live snapshot of the prototype on my server.

This installation guide is designed with Ubuntu-based distributions in mind (I'm using Linux Mint for development), but I expect it to be trivial to get this application running on other flavors of Linux. If you run into any problems, let me know.
