Prix-Fixe

prix-fixe is an experimental package of tools and algorithms for constructing restaurant orders and evaluating natural language systems that generate orders. prix-fixe includes

• Tools for authoring menus
• An interactive menu explorer
• An API for constructing and manipulating orders
• A repair cost metric for comparing orders
• Tools for testing natural language systems that generate orders
• A sample menu for testing purposes
• A regression suite of example orders for evaluating natural language processing systems.

prix-fixe is currently in the earliest stages of development, so documentation is sparse, and the code stability is uneven. If you are interested in taking a look, we recommend starting with the Interactive Menu Explorer Tutorial.

Building Prix-Fixe

prix-fixe is a Node.js project, written in TypeScript. In order to use prix-fixe you must have Node installed on your machine. prix-fixe has been tested with Node version 13.7.0.
