What it does:*
InclusiSphere is a transformative web application designed to address various challenges faced during online conferences. It employs AI-powered solutions to promote diversity, inclusivity, and a safe environment in virtual conference settings. The application analyzes conversations, detects interruptions, identifies harassment, and assesses the sentiment of interactions. It generates a Cumulative Inclusivity Promotion (CIP) score for each participant, offering insights into their behavior and interactions, ultimately fostering equal opportunities, collaboration, and innovation.
How we built it:*
InclusiSphere was developed using a combination of technologies. The tech stack includes Django for backend development, machine learning libraries for AI-powered features, HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap for frontend design. The application utilizes a speech detection model to capture transcripts and audio data, which then pass through layers of processing involving profanity-check, interruption detection model, and sentiment analysis. The results from each layer are combined to generate the CIP score, which is used for individual profiling.
Challenges we ran into:*
During the development of InclusiSphere, the team faced several challenges:
- Creating accurate interruption and ignorance detection models based on audio data.
- Implementing real-time sentiment analysis to assess the tone of conversations.
- Integrating multiple machine learning models into a cohesive system.
- Ensuring the accuracy of the CIP score as a reflection of inclusivity.
Accomplishments that we're proud of:*
The team achieved several accomplishments with InclusiSphere:
- Successfully developing and integrating various AI models to address specific challenges in online conferences.
- Creating a user-friendly interface that allows participants to engage with the application seamlessly.
- Designing an effective profiling system using the CIP score to provide valuable insights into participants' behavior and interactions.
- Crafting a compelling narrative in the script to explain the application's purpose and impact.
What we learned:*
The development of InclusiSphere provided the team with valuable insights:
- Improved understanding of speech recognition and audio data processing techniques.
- Practical experience in implementing real-time sentiment analysis for nuanced interactions.
- Enhancing proficiency in using Django for backend development and integrating machine learning models.
- Gained insights into addressing diversity and inclusion challenges in online environments.
What's next for InclusiSphere:*
Moving forward, the team plans to continue refining and enhancing InclusiSphere:
- Expanding the application's features to encompass more aspects of diversity and inclusion.
- Fine-tuning the AI models to improve accuracy and effectiveness in identifying various challenges.
- Incorporating user feedback to enhance the user experience and meet evolving conference needs.
- Exploring opportunities to integrate more advanced machine learning techniques and technologies for better insights and impact.
InclusiSphere's journey involves continuous growth and refinement as it strives to create a more inclusive and empowering conference experience for all participants.
