Food vectors. Live demo at https://altosaar.github.io/food2vec/, blog post with more information and pretty plots here: https://jaan.io/food2vec-augmented-cooking-machine-intelligence/

Get the data and preprocess it:

cd dat
./download_data.sh
# get kaggle data from https://www.kaggle.com/c/whats-cooking/
python preprocess_kaggle_data.py
./preprocess_data.sh

Train a model on the recipes dataset:

git clone [email protected]:altosaar/food2vec.git
cd food2vec
git submodule update --init
cd src/sentence_word2vec
git submodule update --init
./compile_ops.sh
# run word2vec with the recipes as context
python word2vec_optimized.py --train_data ../../dat/recipes --interactive --save_path /tmp --subsample 0 --eval 0 --interactive --embedding_size 100

# make the t-SNE plot
cd ../../
# run t-sne and make the plots for the ingredient embeddings
jupyter notebook ./src/plot_ingredients_recipes.ipynb
# view the analogy tool on a browser

Pull requests and all feedback welcome! Please file an issue if you run into problems replicating the results.

TODOs:

• fit a better model (e.g. the exact multi-class regression implemented in this repo at https://github.com/altosaar/food2vec/blob/master/src/food2vec.py) -- if you manage to get better results than the live demo at https://altosaar.github.io/food2vec/ just submit a pull request with the new assets/data/wordVecs.js and I'll happily update it :)
• compare the above model embeddings to the word2vec_optimized.py embeddings
• make the UI of the website more user-friendly and mobile-friendly

Thanks to Anthony for open-sourcing a javascript embedding browser -- the one here is heavily based on it.
