Our group consists mainly of new programmers so we joined the hackathon for the experience and to learn new things. None of us were familiar with A.I. and only a few were familiar with Python. We followed all the keynotes and tried to learn as much as we could. However, despite our best efforts the challenge was still extremely tough for us. We had to learn as much as we could about A.I. and machine learning in a short time and on top of that, implement it in a language we were not familiar with. We started off by looking at the demo and checking out the different parts. We deciphered the different parts and slowly learned about what each part did. After we had a better understanding of the demo we began to think about ways to tweak and optimize to code so it could more accurately judge the sentiments of a sentence. In a very short time we went from not knowing how to add imports into python to tweaking a finalized model that functions properly. It has been a great learning experience for all of us and we wish to continue learning and improving our programming skills and knowledge.
