RPIPreferate

Preferate is a restaurant recommendation web application using collaborative filtering technology to generate personalized suggestions from crowdsourced data. Using the data that a user enters when he or she creates an account, we can find users with similar tastes who have tried other nearby restaurants and use these correlations to predict which restaurants the user will enjoy. Preferate will also be able to use these same techniques for groups of people, to eliminate the problem of fighting over what restaurant to go to.
