NYC School Finder

Watson Hackathon Entry from Havas Worldwide New York - 4-5 May, 2015

Links

Technical overview

  1. NYC Open Data datasets used for our school listings. We pulled multiple data sets on NYC high schools from their APIs, cached them into Cloudant, Took the basic data + school performance + SAT scores, safety, etc.

  2. This School data is then analyzed for personality insights, and that is cached into Cloudant as well.

  3. When you submit sample text, it's sent to personality insights on the fly. We have some autobiographical writing samples as well for you all to try out.

  4. The student's profile is then compared with every single school in the database, and the best matches are displayed in this interactive visualization.

  5. The matches are additionally fed into tradeoff analytics leveraged to further refine based on not only the personality match score, but also SAT scores, graduation and college rates, much more data available.

  6. Uses personality insights to generate suggested careers based on existing personality to career research
