SkiMatch AI: The Intelligent Ski Resort Recommender
Author: Omer Gonen Omer Luzzatto Course: Introduction to Data Science
Introduction: What is SkiMatch AI?
SkiMatch AI is an intelligent search engine designed to help skiers and snowboarders find their perfect winter vacation destination.
The Problem: Traditional travel sites force users to filter by rigid categories (e.g., "France", "Price < $100"). They fail to capture the "vibe" or specific needs of the user. The Solution: This project uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to allow users to describe their dream trip in their own words. How it works: The system analyzes the semantic meaning of the user's request and matches it with thousands of reviews to find the most relevant resorts, considering factors like atmosphere, snow quality, and value for money.
Part 1: Data Generation (Synthetic RAG)
Since real-world datasets often lack the descriptive depth required for high-quality semantic search, we had to create our own data. This phase involved generating a robust synthetic dataset using Large Language Models (LLMs).
- Process: We engineered specific prompts to simulate different personas (e.g., "The Budget Traveler", "The Powder Expert", "The Après-Ski Lover").
- Volume: We generated 10,000 unique reviews.
- Enrichment: Each data point includes:
Review Text: A detailed paragraph describing the experience.Sentiment Score: A numerical value representing the positivity of the review.Metadata: Price estimates, Nightlife scores, and resort characteristics.
Part 2: Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
In this phase, we analyzed the 10,000-row dataset to understand the underlying patterns and ensure data quality.
Dataset Statistics:
- Rows: ~10,000
- Key Columns:
resort_name,country,review_text,price,nightlife_score,sentiment.
Visualizations:
1.Review Word Count Distribution:
The graph displays the number of words per review and the frequency of reviews with similar word counts.

2. Frequent Words Cloud:
This image visualizes the most common words found in the reviews; the larger the word, the more frequently it was used.

3.Sentiment Polarity Distribution:
The graph illustrates the distribution of reviews categorized into positive, negative, and neutral sentiments.

4.Slope Difficulty by Country:
The graph shows the breakdown of ski slopes by difficulty level for each country.

5. Global Resort Distribution Map:
A world map displaying the geographic concentration and location of ski resorts by country.

6. Feature Correlation Heatmap: This heatmap visualizes the relationships and correlations between the different variables.
Part 3: Embeddings & Model Selection
To convert text into machine-understandable numbers (Vectors), we needed to choose the best Embedding Model. We performed a benchmark comparison of three state-of-the-art Hugging Face models:
all-MiniLM-L6-v2: The fastest model, good for low-resource environments.all-distilroberta-v1: A balanced option.all-mpnet-base-v2: The largest and most accurate model.
The Comparison: We measured Inference Time (speed) vs. Semantic Accuracy. The table below shows the results of our benchmark:
Winner: We selected all-mpnet-base-v2 because, for a recommendation system, accuracy is more critical than saving a few milliseconds.
Part 4: Input-Output Pipeline (Hybrid Search)
The core engine of this application is a Hybrid Search Pipeline designed to solve the "Antonym Problem" (where "Cheap" and "Expensive" vectors look similar mathematically).
The Pipeline Flow:
- Input: The user types a natural language query (e.g., "I want a cheap party resort").
- Logic Layer (The Smart Filter):
- The code scans for keywords.
- If "Cheap" is detected -> It filters the dataset for
Price < 80. - If "Party" is detected -> It filters for
Nightlife Score > 4.
- Semantic Layer (The Vector Search):
- The remaining filtered resorts are converted to vectors.
- We calculate Cosine Similarity between the user's query and the reviews.
- Output: The system returns the top 6 resorts that match both the hard constraints (Price/Logic) and the soft intent (Vibe/Meaning).
Part 5: Application Interface (UI)
We used Gradio to build a modern, user-friendly web interface hosted on Hugging Face Spaces.
Interface Features:
- Search Bar: A large text input for natural language queries.
- Netflix-Style Cards: Results are displayed as visual cards containing the resort name, country, match score, and a review snippet.
- Quick Starters: One-click examples for users to test the system immediately.
How we built it: The UI dynamically renders HTML/CSS based on the search results, providing a polished experience that goes beyond standard text output.
