A search for courses about "big data"
Inspiration
Each semester Penn State (and many other universities) offer thousands of courses to their students. Many times students have a variety of courses that they can choose from but no easy way to search through them. We wanted to provide students a smarter and more robust course search engine to help them find courses they'll enjoy.
How we built it
Our search engine is built on Algolia, which allows users to efficiently search through course data that we've collected from online listings. We also used natural language processing to analyze course descriptions and find similar courses. This lets us recommend courses to users based on their searches.
