Inspiration

Inspiration comes from observation we've got during our analysis on twitter stream when we observed hat there are thousands of people talking about different causes, but not many of them manage to donate at all.

What it does

Consequently, we want to create a bridge between people that are truly wanting to donate and charity campaings available via JustGiving API

How we built it

We build it using machine learning algorithms combined with data extraction and front end frameworks suchs as AngularJS and HTML/CSS JQuerry

Challenges we ran into

Angular was one challenge whne we had to connect with the JustGivingAPI . Another challenge was the fact that many many tweets were not geo-tagged.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

accomplishments included the prioritizing of tweets to get hold of sensitive topics around the world.

What we learned

We've had a lot of fun, and learned about nltk/scikit/redis and cool stuff in general

What's next for Philanthropik

A deeper level of granularity
