Inspiration Utilize the prevalence of big data to help small businesses.

What it does: Displays public sentiment about the company of interest in a given target city through the analysis of twitter posts.

How we built it: We used the twitter api as well as an NLP library to generate polarity data for each filtered tweet.

Challenges we ran into: Connecting the backend to the frontend, creating an interactive experience for the user.

Accomplishments that we're proud of: We were able to successfully execute classification on our filtered dataset of tweets

What we learned: We learned about the versatility of a django server framework, as well as the vast applications of natural language processing

What's next for #TwitterSpeaks: We will attempt to introduce more algorithmic optimizations and greater scalability. Also, using the same concept to detect Fake News being spread on social media platforms.
