Facebook SoCal regional hackathon -- Generates an image from text by fetching keywords and descriptors from the text and querying that data on google images for relevant images to a facebook status.

We return the top four image and the user may scroll through those to pick an image of choice to use on his/her status.

Technology:

  • Chrome extension for our client side
  • Flask powering our python based application server
  • Nginx as the HTTP server
  • Supervisord to keep things alive
  • AlchemyAPI & NLTK for NLP processing
  • Google Images API for image querying
