Code

Our project consisted of three parts - feature extraction and two ranking models (RankSVM and RankNet).
Each part has separate folder in code/ directory with their separate README file.
See README file of each part for the dependencies and commands to execute the code.

1. Feature extraction - in code/cnn folder. It is implemented in keras. The details are in the readme in that folder.

2. Ranking using RankSVM - in code/RankSVM folder. It is implemented in matlab. The details are in the readme in that folder.

3. Ranking using RankNet - in code/RankNet folder. It is implemented in python. The details are in the readme in that folder.
