restful api endpoint

Hi @jaimevalero ,

Hope you are all well !

I was wondering if some api endpoints are available for getting recommendations by providing parameters ?

Thanks for any insights or inputs on that question.

Cheers,

Hi @x0rzkov .

Thank you for your feedback

Well, the original idea was collecting data from different data sources, like Github and Twitter, to categorize the user and then suggest recomendations about github repos and computer science books, based on that data.

The problem I found is the resource constraint. Heroku free tier gives 1 CPU and some hundreds of MB for the project. And my home-lab kubernetes cluster does not have a good SLA ;-)

A feasible alternative could be to deliver it as a pip package, refactor the code to use flask-api or similar, and let the user host the api endpoint on his own infra.

But to be honest, I don't know if enough people are interested in the project to justify the effort.

Kind regards

@jaimevalero I would integrate it to https://paper2code.com and that would be awesome.

I am looking at paper2code.com (I discover it today) and it is very impressive. Congrats.
I think I would need to know more about the stack it uses, to know how to integrate it.

@jaimevalero thanks for your reply and compliment :-)

Paper2code tries to link publications/research papers with code repositories on github and other vcs. One of our feature is to recommend similar papers based on the simhash of their abstracts.

For example, a paper page, tensorflow-large-scale-machine-learning-on-heterogeneous-distributed-systems, click on the similar tab. You will see a list of papers we have vectorized with
torch2vec.

So the idea would be to recommend repositories based on topics or hashtags.

For instance, if you check the page Language-agnostic_BERT_COVID19_Twitter, which is code page, I would like to create a tab for suggesting similar or recommend other github repositories but I need a restful service for that as we wrote the whole website in golang.

@x0rzkov , It is an interesting idea. One of the issue I see it that we would need a big dataset of github repositories, in order to make meaningful recommendations.

Currently I use this dataset of about 17k users and 1.4k different labels, but I need to update and refactor it - and deliver the api within a docker-compose file.

Ok, as I need several slots of my time to refactor this, let me find some spare time to write an api, and see where this goes. :-)

I have a dataset of 3.7M READMEs in total and 261k READMEs linked to a research papers.
So, I can make a dump for you if you want.

Ps. I can help you for the docker part ! Just tell me what to do ^^

Do you have a twitter or telegram account for faster DM ?
My telegram account is deepocrates

@x0rzkov I have some problems creating telegram account, I will try later.

Meanwhile, work in progress ... https://github.com/jaimevalero/github-recommendation-engine/tree/feature-api
