Computing With Words (CWW) Framework

A prototype implementation that learns the word meanings from the user, represents them using fuzzy sets and adapts the meanings over time to the evolving experiences of the user. The framework was wrapped with a graphical user interface to facilitate real-world experiments for a recipe recommendation application.

Dependencies

The dependencies are packaged in the lib folder. You would need to register for fatsecretPlatform API and obtain Consumer Key and Shared Secret to be able to run the code. See https://platform.fatsecret.com/api/Default.aspx?screen=rapiauth
