Inspiration
Tired of bias articles with no accountability
What it does
Determines where articles fall on political spectrum
How I built it
The program begins by webscraping an article based on it url then it will parse the scraping and convert it to a .txt file. From the txt file we run it through our algorithm to determine where it falls on political spectrum.
Challenges I ran into
We coded the project in java and python and it was extremely tough to integrate the two languages
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Delivering on final product
What I learned
It’s very tough to run python scripts on with JavaScript interpreter.
What's next for ImPARTial
Turning into chrome extension then possibly cluster machine learning
