Cadmus

Many students are given difficult and tedious reading assignments throughout their academic career. These student would all benefit from technology that can parse through large passages, and highlight the key points. Furthermore through Google Cloud's Natural Language API, the application is able to discern the relative positivity, negativity, and potential neutrality in every individual sentence of a passage. This enables the user to quickly and efficiently identify helpful quotes in a potentially wordy and/or tedious passage. Now, more than ever; work efficiency is an integral part in having a successful career, and we believe that Cadmus can become useful tool in the increasingly complex world we live in.

I worked on the backend of our Django Application as well as some of the front-end design, HTML, CSS, JavaScrupt and templating (using Jinja2). I created the database schema and I handles all of the API calls (as well as authentication).

I worked on the front end part, designing the layout and format of our app. I also went and talked to mentors about our project, seeking out help and advice. I believe this led to our final project and I am grateful for my group.

Cadmus is currently being used by many students for help with their summarizing work. They have too much long articles or stories that they have to read, so this tool gets the main point across to them easily without having them to read the whole thing.
