Is there is RT-like distinction between All Critics / Top Critics / Audience Score?
I would love to see a site which gathered reviews from professional food reviewers.
- ahallock 10y agoThat would be awesome! The main difficulty is crawling for the data, I suppose. Movies are very general, so you have a small set of top critics to pull from, whereas restaurants have reviewers in every city.
- benkarst 10y agoAutomation is necessary when you're talking about finding reviews for over 500K restaurants. The best solution I can think of right now is 1) collecting valid professional review links from around the web 2) associating them with specific restaurants and 3) performing sentiment analysis to determine a rotten or fresh type rating. These steps are straightforward and would not yield 100% accuracy. Even a 95% accuracy would be unfair to the few restaurants who's rating somehow gets messed up.
