In this 2 hour long project, you will learn how to preprocess a text dataset comprising recipes. You will learn how to use natural language processing techniques to generate word embeddings for these ingredients, using Word2Vec. These word embeddings can be used for recommendations in an online store based on added items in a basket, or to suggest alternative items as replacements when stock is limited. You will build this recommendation/discovery feature in an interactive and aesthetic visualization tool.
