When choosing the right establishment to order from, we rely on the average
ratings of those places. The ratings are calculated based on numeric values left by
different users who have had experience with the establishment. The problem with
such ratings is that having a high score does not guarantee one’s satisfaction with a
meal. It is a mere number evaluated based on other people’s experiences. However,
every human being is an individual with specific tastes, and the concept of good
food differs for everyone. With the unexpected strike of the COVID-19 pandemic,
there was also a sharp spike in need for food delivery services. For applications
like Glovo or its competitors Rocket and Bolt Food, the only way of approximating
the food quality is a score averaged from other users’ ratings, which makes it, quite
often, a hit-or-miss experience. Such services, unfortunately, neither offer written
reviews nor any personalized recommendations based on your order history. This
project is built around this topic and is aimed to train a model that learns from vi-
sual information and user behavior and produces recommendations based on given
information. |
