ABSTRACT
The Restaurant Recommendation System based on reviews leverages both context-based filtering
and collaborative filtering techniques to provide personalized restaurant recommendations for
customers. The system is designed with two main user modules: the Admin and the Customer. The
admin module allows administrators to upload, preprocess, and analyze datasets, generate a TF-
IDF matrix, and create a Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) model. The Customer module
facilitates restaurant recommendations using context-based filtering and collaborative filtering
algorithms, based on user reviews. This dual approach ensures more accurate and relevant
recommendations for customers, improving their overall dining experience. The system enhances
user satisfaction by offering a blend of algorithmic precision and personalized preferences.
