Mind LESS and laugh MORE with Mindless 😉

Inspiration

It's a fast-paced society, and we sometimes get anxious and overwhelmed by all those to-dos and deadlines. Through looking at a cute character talking gibberish, we derive fun, happiness, and inspirations to those unanswered questions in our heart.

What It Is

Mindless can help people de-stress. It is a fun web application built using an N-gram language model. In particular, we choose 3-gram because it gives the best performance. We use Chicken Soup for the Soul as the training corpus to generate word and context matrices. Based on Markov assumption, we continuously generate the next word using the probability calculated from the word and context matrices. We also use add-k smoothing to overcome the zero-count issue.

How We Built It

We built in with Python Flask for the backend, Preact for the frontend and pure Python 3 for the NLP model.

Challenges

Tuning the NLP model is one of the major challenges, as we realized that the model isn't perfect for continuing the sentences. Another challenge is to integrate the frontend and the backend.
