Inspiration
Our inspiration came from our daily lives. Notetaking is a task that has no business being as tedious as it is. Tren revolutionizes the way students take notes. It promotes collaboration and provides an excellent resource for students so that they can excel in their classes.
What it does
What Tren does is simple on the surface, yet very impactful and thoughtful. Tren provides students a platform to upload their notes and get a unified document that contains the best parts of each student's notes. It also provides students with a post feed for talking about their classes and relieving stress.
How we built it
We decided to build Tren as a web app. We use Flask for our backend and use React for the frontend. Our ML model implements tf-idf for computing similarity between texts.
Challenges we ran into
One challenge that we ran into was that none of us had much web dev experience and hence it slowed us down tremendously. Our future goals include being proficient at web-dev,
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to create a beautiful landing page in the limited time constraints and we were also able to implement TF-IDF for our merging algorithm. Those are the accomplishments we are the most proud of.
What we learned
We learned a lot about web development and NLP.
What's next for Tren.
Tren. is highly scalable. It can be immediately adopted by any college or school without any overhead costs. We envision a future in which students have one less thing to worry about and can have easy and organized access to notes.
