PresentRNet

A reasonably well formatted slide output
A poorly formatted slide output: note the semantic errors

Inspiration

We were inspired to create an app that would do our homework for us. What if you could just give a program a word, and have it spit out a powerpoint?

What it does

PresentRNet creates powerpoints given a single-word prompt.

How I built it

PresentRNet uses SerpAPI to scrape through Google results related to the search term, then techniques like RAKE (Rapid Automatic Keyword Extraction) and Term Frequency — Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) to process out the most important text.

This important text is used to train an LSTM neural network to output a selection of quotes that may be pasted into a standardized powerpoint presentation format.

Powerpoint format is standardized, with an opening slide, a closing slide, and two content slides. The headers of the content slides are strictly dictated by header sections gathered from Wikipedia, and are run through the LSTM to generate the relevant quotes for each slide.

Pictures are scraped straight from Google.


Create PowerPoint:
    GET SerpAPI results + related queries
    GET SerpAPI results for related queries

    keywords = RAKE(results)
    keyphrases = TFIDF(results)

    TRAIN generic LSTM Model with new data + keyphrases/words
    GET selection of images from SerpAPI
    GET selection of Wikipedia headers with Wikipedia API
    GET selection of LSTM outputs using Wiki headers as input seed
    INSERT sentences into powerpoint document
