Emotion detector

Inspiration

People tends to indulge in their depressive thoughts and think they are the only ones.

Let user input their thoughts and feelings, return the emotions detected by IBM Watson

Use html as the front end, python for the back-end and IBM watson

Little experience so debugging was difficult. Hard to write codes, had to learn things from scratch.

The program actually works

How programs communicate and work together

Improve the connection of the output data and create a database to store it.

I worked with Lan Anh on building the server using Python Flask. It was my first time making a project with programming and it was very challenging because I had very little knowledge about how to make a web page. I really learned a lot and got a sense of what it’s like to build a program in team, though I suppose most people would be a lot less disoriented XD

I worked with Shunxin on the back-end server of the program (webpage). We connected the front end to the server, called IBM Watson to analyse our input received from the html front-end and give us back the keywords and sentiments detected by the AI from the input text to display the result on the user interface. It was challenging as we had to learn all of this from scratch with only a very basic knowledge of Python, receiving great help from the mentors.
