Inspiration
Shazam, and the desire to know which episode funny clips online come from
What it does
Tells you the show, season, episode AND time signature of the clip you're recording!
How I built it
A machine learning model-Convolutional Neural Network-classifies the clip into the correct show. Then, a Shazam-like audio hashing algorithm figures out the specific episode and time signature of the clip.
Challenges I ran into
Building an app version. We ended up making a mock-up, and running most the functionality server-side.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
First documented cartoon classifier in the world!
What I learned
How little training data you need when using certain reliable methods: like the hashing function, and using a technique called "transfer learning" for the classifier.
What's next for Showtime
Adding a larger catalogue of shows and episodes. Enabling a social component to share favorite clips and corresponding information-quite useful among our _ ~hilarious~ _ group of friends!
