We aim to create a Telegram chatbot which can communicate in a way which is as human-like as possible and with the ability to talk in Singlish as well as most SMU students are Singaporeans. Also, together with the integration of the food recommendation function which will be utilised if the user wants some ideas of what to eat and where to find them.

Install the dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

Under the ./potato-master directory, we have some data sources
./data/.geojson: they are the files for SG master planning areas mapping.
./data/cuisines.txt: for the cuisine options generation.
./data/restaurants.csv: the file containing all restaurants’ information.
./data/{train, validate}_combine_df.csv: sampled training files from combined sources.
./data/{train, validate}_df.csv: sampled training files from NUS SMS corpus only.
If you want to see the full datasets, download and put them in the ./data directory
