Thank you! :)
Simply put, there are two prime components here: 1. The recommendation engine (Myrrix, need to run a .jar file as a daemon, done. Easier than deploying Lucene) 2. Recommendation client (Myrrix has a rich Java API. My current code uses it to provide recommendations. The actual client-side Java API-using code is less than 150 LOC, minus a couple of classes that are injected into the Myrrix daemon.)
Now I have three options here: i) To write a PHP wrapper over (2) ii) I can expose (2) as a REST-based API which can be easily used from PHP code. iii) Completely replace (2) with PHP code.
(i) and (ii) are feasible options. But (iii) would mean rewriting quite a large amount of code/functionality, that's already in the Java API, in PHP. And I can't see any gains from going with (iii) since it wouldn't really help deployment any more than (i) or (ii).
I am a bit busy with my university exams; I will try to deploy this on a VPS, update the repo with some PHP code and a link to the demo, and share it here in a couple of days.
Cheers, Nilesh

That's awesome!
Two things:
- how set are you on a Java-based solution? We would prefer PHP in order to
make it more likely to be deployed.
- could you provide a link to a running demo?

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a prototype for the Wikidata Entity Suggester (Bug #46555https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46555). As of now, it is a command-line client, completely written in Java, that fetches recommendations from a Myrrix server layer.
Please take a look at the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/nilesh-c/wikidata-entity-suggester/ I would really appreciate it if you can take the time to go through the README and provide me with some much-needed feedback. Any questions or suggestions are welcome. If you're curious, you can set up the whole
thing
on your own machine.
Check out a few examples too: https://github.com/nilesh-c/wikidata-entity-suggester/wiki/Examples
It can suggest properties and values for new/not-yet-created items (and also currently present items), if it's given a few properties/values as input data.
I intend to write a REST API and/or a simple PHP frontend for it before I set it up on a remote VPS, so that everyone can test it out. Some experimentation and quality optimization is also due.
