CCLab HW 11/01: Random Users for Face Feature Comparisons

We are always looking at ourselves, comparing ourselves to other's perception of us. What if we can connect with random people around the world and try to empathize with them? We can start by trying to look like them in a static image, to start seeing where they're from. In this javascript game, we compare our webcam images with some random person from around the world, and are scored based on how well we made the expressions and features of our faces similar to theirs. I used the randomuser API to generate random people, whose images are compared to ourselves. When a picture is taken, we compare the taken picture with the API generated picture and provide a score telling us how similar they are. Higher scores mean we are doing better in presenting a facial expression and features that matches the random stranger's.

CCLab HW 10/26: AI Scheduler with Mind of Its Own

Charlie is a chatbot scheduler who takes care of your appointments and dates for you. Unlike most AI chatbots, though, it has its own agenda. When it's busy it'll ignore you. In this case, we try to schedule a meeting with Sven for the next day, but Charlie has its own mind, more important things to attend to. The flaky and absent-minded chatbot is using your emotionality against you. I used the API.ai library to generate a chatbot, specifying domain knowledge involving scheduling and catching errors.
