Bi-Modal Sentiment Analysis
As humans, we perceive the world through a myriad of different senses. The “data” that these senses provide to our brain helps us create our “reality”.
Ali designed a machine that could replicate how human’s perceive the real world. To create more accurate Natural Language Processing (NLP), machine learning models should be able to utilize multiple sources of data, so Ali’s project aimed to create a real-time sentiment analysis classifier using text and audio data concurrently.

ImageCap
ImageCap is a tool that generates captions from images using neural networks. Rai fed image feature vectors and partial captions to the model so it could predict the next word of the caption.
To process images, Rai used a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and the GloVe model to process words in the caption.
Partial caption and image feature vector pass through the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and the model picks up the next possible word with the highest probability and generates the next sequence.
Watch Rai explain her full process.
WeClick
