LeFooding.com is the go-to source for French restaurant information, with witty and peculiar reviews conducted by anonymous critics across France and now Belgium. This post dives deep into the network analysis of the French culinary scene, connecting restaurants and staff based on their relationships. By using OpenAI’s structured generation functionality, information from over 1800 reviews was extracted to create a comprehensive graph with 5000 nodes and edges, showcasing the interconnectivity of the industry. The project also highlights the challenges and solutions faced when extracting structured data from text using large language models like gpt4o-mini. The visualization of the network was created using gephi-lite to ensure clarity and accuracy.
