• Create data folders

    $ mkdir -p dataset computed saved
  

dataset will contain the raw data, computed the values computed from this dataset, saved values computed for other models.

• Get the data from yelp into dataset/

• Untar the data

    $ cd dataset
    $ tar xvf yelp_phoenix_academic_dataset.tgz
  

• Separate the dataset into a holdout and and training set.

    $ sort -R yelp_academic_dataset_review.json > yelp_academic_dataset_review_randomize.json
    $ head --lines=-50000 yelp_academic_dataset_review_randomize.json > yelp_academic_dataset_review_training.json
    $ head --lines=50000 yelp_academic_dataset_review_training.json > yelp_academic_dataset_review_training_small.json
    $ head --lines=5000 yelp_academic_dataset_review_training.json > yelp_academic_dataset_review_training_sample.json
    $ mkdir -p holdout
    $ tail --lines=50000 yelp_academic_dataset_review_randomize.json > holdout/yelp_academic_dataset_review_holdout.json
    $ tail --lines=5000 yelp_academic_dataset_review_randomize.json > holdout/yelp_academic_dataset_review_holdout_small.json
  

Before doing anything, update your python path:

    $ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)

• huang : train Huang's word vectors on dataset
• sLDA : assess accuracy of sLDA model
• proto : uses Huang's prototype to build a regression model
• utils : contains helpers used in the python scripts

We tried to implement it so that most computed data go into computed. The utils script loadcomputed and savecomputed are to be used to save these data in separate folders depending on the type of analysis you are running. Save your work!
