TTTiPoT

Inspiration

We were all keen to learn new web development technologies alongside Twitter's Streaming API.

What it does

1. Takes a stream of random tweets using Twitter Streaming API
2. Analyses the images in the tweets using Clarifai API
3. Finds the most common things within sample photos
4. Displays a live ranking of most common things

How we built it

We used Python and Flask, with Socket IO for a web socket. Too much JSON was involved.

Challenges we ran into

Clarifai doesn't work very well, the web socket was a nightmare. Tiredness can kill.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have a pretty decent end product, which works as intended and looks good.

What we learned

We learnt a lot about Python, Flask, web sockets, and the Twitter and Clarifai APIs.

What's next for TTTiPoT

Would work well with much more data: we were limited by the number of requests to Clarifai we could make. Implement more of Clarifai's models and potentially train our own model.
