Inspiration
The IBM Watson API really interested our team. The idea of analyzing text and recognizing the tone based on context gave us an idea of letting an AI determine how to match a particular mood and thus The Mood Project was born.
What it does
Based on the inputs of the five appraised emotions, the Webapp will then start to pick out music from a preprocessed database.
How we built it
This is a Node.js Webapp hosted on Heroku using a MongoDB database. We preprocess a large library of music so that all the user has to do is query a particular
Challenges we ran into
Lack of experience with our choices in technology meant we spent a lot of time learning how to manage our information.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Solving the Database issues was especially rewarding as no one on the team had very much experience working with Mongo prior to the project
What we learned
Good use of Git and Source Control + MongoDB
What's next for The Mood Project
Optimize the database search and improve the search algorithm
