## Data description
The dataset consists of more than one million recipes scraped from Internet websites such as AllRecipes.com.
The main file train.json contains information about recipe title, ingredients list (with amounts), preparation instructions (if available) and cuisine type.
The file test.json contains information about recipe title and ingredients list (with amounts).
The goal is to predict cuisine type given only ingredients list.
## Requirements
* Python==2.x
* scikit-learn==0.x.x
* pandas==0.x.x
* numpy==x.x.x
* nltk==x.x.x
## Preprocessing
### clean data
#### Preprocessing steps:
* drop missing values;
* drop duplicate values;
* clean text (lower case, stemming, lemmatization);
* encode labels;
* split train and test set again;
#### Usage:
python clean_data.py
### build features
#### Features:
* bag-of-word features;
* tf-idf features;
#### Usage:
python build_feature.py
## Experimentation
### experiment steps:
* use SVM or RF as classifier;
* use bag-of-word or tf-idf features;
* use different ngram ranges (unigram or bigram);
* use different kernels (linear or rbf);
* calculate AUC scores;
### Usage:
python experiment.py
### Results:
SVM performs better than RF.
Bag-of-word features perform better than tf-idf features.
Unigram performs better than bigram.
Linear kernel performs better than rbf kernel.
The best result:
Best model: model_svm_bow_1-1_linear.sav
Best auc score: **0.787793014907**
## Ensemble methods
### experiment steps:
* use SVM or RF as classifier;
* use bag-of-word or tf-idf features;
* use different ngram ranges (unigram or bigram);
* use different kernels (linear or rbf);
* calculate AUC scores;
### Usage:
python ensemble.py
### Results:
SVM performs better than RF.
Bag-of-word features perform better than tf-idf features.
Unigram performs better than bigram.
Linear kernel performs better than rbf kernel.
The best result:
Best model: model_svm_bow_ensemble.sav
Best auc score: **0.790562828402**
## Future work:
### Use neural network as classifier:
The most common way of using neural network as classifier is multilayer perceptron (MLP). It is a feedforward neural network which consists of multiple layers between input layer and output layer.
There are two common types of MLP:
(1) Fully connected MLP:
Each node from layer L connects with all nodes from layer L+1.

(2) Convolutional neural network (CNN):
It uses convolutional layers instead of fully connected layers.

For detailed information about neural network architectures, please refer [here](http://www.wildml.com/2015/11/building-neural-networks-using-python-numpy-and-theano/)
### Use word embedding instead of bag-of-word or tf-idf features:
Word embedding is another way of representing words which maps each word into a real-valued vector space.
One popular method is word2vec which uses shallow neural networks.
For detailed information about word embedding methods, please refer [here](http://www.wildml.com/2016/04/word2vec-nlp-tutorial-part-1-introduction-to-word-embedding/)
