Inspiration
We got the idea after reading so many reviews each time we want to book a hotel in tripadvisor or hotels.com, or check a restaurant at yelp.
What it does
The application use Watson-IBM sentiment API to read reviews from Tripadvisor, Hotels.com or Yelp using a Chrome Extension. After getting the reviews we run a series of algorithms based on Watson API to show the user the most important concepts from all the comments for that particular topic.
How I built it
We build the application using Ruby on Rails, Javascript and a Chrome Extension to easily demo it.
Challenges I ran into
The most difficult part is to grab the reviews from those sites since those are not usually public in their API, we did scrapping of those comments.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We believe the application is something that it's easy to use, and something we might use to speed up our decisions without reading all the comments each time we want to go out.
What I learned
Scrapping websites, also, we realized that most of those sites are making difficult to extract the comments from their websites.
What's next for Analyze My Reviews
Extend the application to more services, and improve the algorithms to provide better information for the user
