Inspiration

Try and describe what R&B is to the person next to you? It's really difficult isn't it?

What it does

Predicts music genre based on album artwork alone.

How we built it

Million Song dataset -> Spotify API -> Clarifai API -> Machine Learning -> Results! <- Machine Learning <- Clarifai<- Google <- User Interface

Challenges we ran into

Tried to build a web app, react is way harder than I remember. Clarifai changing input types Forgetting to install SQL Python3 Reading HDF5 files are farcical

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It works!

What we learned

There is a genre called 'Heavy Christmas' and people are really bad at guessing genre from album artwork.

What's next for s4ML

Going back to our dissertations
