Change different algorithms for question ranking by selecting one of the following three.

1. question_info_entropy using information entropy to rank questions.
2. question using raw entity_text (without omop mapping) to rank questions.
3. question_cluster using frequency to rank questions.

import lib.question_info_entropy as qst
import lib.question as qst
import lib.question_cluster as qst

change log file path

# app/lib/log.py
hfile_info = logging.FileHandler("app/log/dquest-info.log")
hfile_error = logging.FileHandler("app/log/dquest-error.log")

check path

# app/view.py
