Data Files

• All files used in this project, are generated through Feature Engineering. All py files needed to do this are added to this repo.
• Since all of those files can't be uploaded here, I will leave a project directory structure, incase anyone wants to clone this repo and reproduce results.

The following directory Structure is followed for deployment folder

Deployed application

Future Work

• Deploy this application on a remote server using AWS.
• Display Images of products along with the names instead of names alone.
• To find an end to end Deep Learning solution for this problem. 
• Extend this solution, to provide even more recommendations , such as for each product from the recommendations, suggest an item which was most frequently purchased with it . This can be done using Apriori Algorithm.
