Status

Data collecting and analysis has finished, right now I am working on the front-end.

Tech

• Data collecting: spiderer
• Database: MongoDB and mongous client.
• Feature extraction: TFIDF and cosine similarity.
• Recommendation: content-based on the early stage, maybe use item-based or other algorithms later.
• Front-end: express4.x, Bootstrap.
• Language: node.js and Scala.

Aim

At first, I try to develop a news discovery tool based on location. I thought for a long time even dreamed about how to make money with it.

But I met some difficulties on the first day, I failed to start the project, disappointingly.

Instead, I start this project, also interested and not beyond my ability. I have worked on it for two weeks, right now it finally finished. It's really challenging to use Scala in a project, and mixed with node.js.

I learned a lot from this project, and tomorrow, I will start another project.
