Inspiration
I found it hard to find a team member during this datathon. The process of finding teammates feels like searching for a needle in the haystack. MatchMaker - the team matching assistant is a perfect solution.
What it does
It compares the applicant's characteristics with other applicants in the hackathon and shortlists a group of best teammates.
How I built it
By preprocessing the data and visualizing patterns, I identified relevant features and then clustered them using K-means clustering algorithm. I evaluated it by checking the 2D and 3D PCA plots. Finally, I made it an application by building a GUI.
Challenges I ran into
Finding best visualizing ideas
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Building an end-to-end product.
What I learned
I never worked with clustering algorithms before, this was a great chance to bring my theory knowledge of PCA and clustering to a good use
What's next for MatchMaker
Adding external data from other hackathons, social networking sites will make this app much more reliable and accurate.
