Well, it's been a long time coming, and I have to admit it was a lot easier to add than I thought it would be. You now officially have control over the learned knowledge of Food-Bot.

Enjoy the free food!

Thanks everyone for your feedback about universities to add! More universities to come soon based on your feedback!

Hopefully you're settled in on your campus by now! The free food search for this school year is about to begin!

The Food-Bot Android app is finally here. The app allows you to add reminders of upcoming free food events, and receive notifications if a new free food event has been found.

I'll be traveling to Pittsburgh to talk about the theory behind Food-Bot.
If you're interested in machine learning, natural language processing, or food, come on out!

I decided the website becomes a whole lot more usable (and less sketchy) when users can actually see where the events came from that Food-Bot found.

Emailing subscribers is somewhat of a complicated problem. On the one hand, I want subscribers to find out about all the latest free food events.

I've been trying to make the site increasingly automated, and as a result, I've been looking for ways to use Food-Bot more and more to take care of tasks that don't necessarily need a human. In the process of doing this, I decided to add a feature where Food-Bot offers suggestions based on what it knows. Food-Bot will now try to help users realize if they have made a mistake in the event they added, and allow them to make changes.

Previously, every event that was found by Food-Bot needed to be approved by me as indeed being a free food event before it was made visible on the site. One of the problems with this is that there was always a latency between when the event was first discovered by Food-Bot and when I found out about it and was able to approve it.
