Matching company names using computation and human review.
In order to run the code in this repository, you'll need to set up a file called paths.R in the root. This file is ignored by git, and should specify your local Dropbox folder path as well as a Google API key for address geocoding, like so:
dropbox <- "path"
google_api_key <- "key"
You'll also need to set up a file called data.txt in order to run the makefile in this repository. This file is algo ignored by git, and should specify your local Dropbox folder path like so:
"path"
Once you set up paths.R and data.txt files, you should be able to run this repository by typing make into your command line (making sure that you're located in the root of this repository when doing so). If you want to re-run the entire project from scratch, delete all files in the Dropbox folders "generated_data" and "reviewed_data", besides those in the "training" and "address_backups" folders (those are time-intensive to reproduce and deleting them is highly discouraged), and execute make.
