Clustering of food ingredient database

€12-18 EUR / hour

€12-18 EUR / hour

We have a database of about 8000 food ingredients. A lot of them are permutations of the exact same ingredient, to give you an example: parmigiano parmigiano reggiano parmigiano reggiano cheese parmigiano reggiano rind parmigiano reggiano rinds We need to indicate in our records which one these items is canonical, which ones is a child ingredient. As this involves manual labor, we are looking for a tool / custom solution that can cluster all the ingredients. It should facilitate identifying clusters, updating clusters (i.e. removing or adding ingredients) and so forth. Let us know how you intend to accomplish this. You don't need to give away your complete solution, just the algorithms that you expect will work. Note: we have already tried using a LIKE search...but we would have to do that for every single entry square, which is not manageable, which is why we believe clustering is best. Correct us if you think we're off here. Start your proposal with healthclub so that I know you've read this far. And make sure what your reply is relevant, we're not looking for cover letters. Non-relevant, standardized offers will be removed and reported. Looking forward to working on a good solution with a data professional. Alex

healthclub Dear there I think we need to restructure your database into relation. For details, put material in separated tables, and ingredients in other... And maybe categorize material and ingredients. That may work. I'm serious, looking forward to hear from you.

healthclub Dear Client I have reviewed your job post and ready to proceed to it. I am a machine learning engineer and you can review the two projects, that i have recently completed were related to machine learning. I have reviewed your job and what i think is the best solution is to process your data using excel instead of any other tool, The reason is, as it is all related to names of the ingredients and it is quite subjective. Even sometimes an ingredient prefixed with same things is not same. So the best solution is to export the data and sort and manipulate and process it using excel and then finally deciding, what to keep and what should be purged. I am ready to do it for you, if you want. Will be waiting for your response. Warm Regards Zulfiqar
