Stress-detecting-application

Singapore-India Hackathon

1. Problem identification

1.1 What exactly is the problem?

• Stress can leads to depression / hypertension and few cases student may take drastic steps. In essence, stress is not good, and caregivers need a tool to understand psychological and emotional state of students so that they can provide timely support

1.2 Why do we need solve this problem?

• Because we believe that helping people is the right thing to do :)

1.3 How do we solve this problem?

• Six people team up to develop a technology that enable early detection of stress

1.4 What do we do/What’s our product?

• A website that helps caregivers detect depression / suicidal feelings of students in using social media

2. Project planning

2.1 What is our goal?

• Before 27/09/2019, finish a website for caregivers, with a dashboard so Caregivers (Teachers, Counsellors & Parents) are alerted and Students can get timely help

2.2 How to we define our success?

• We succeed when our app can do the following tasks:
  • Evaluate students' emotional states every 5 minutes
  • Send alert to the caregiver within 15 min when time-critical action is required

2.3 What do we use to achieve our goal?

2.3.1 Application architecture

2.3.2 Technologies

a. NLP engine

• Language: Python
• Jupyter notebook: to develop model
• ML library: Pytorch / TF
• Pre-trained word vectors: GloVe / Google Vectors

b. IP engine

• Language: Python
• Jupyter notebook: to develop model
• ML library: Pytorch / TF

c. Web app

• Language: Python / JS
• Framework: Django / Flask
• Tweet Scraping library: TBD

*Facebook chosen for this project as it is the most popular social media

2.4 How do we use those tools to achieve our goal?

2.4.1 Team dynamics

• Sunday - Friday: develop
• Saturday: close tasks, give feedback, define new tasks

• WhatsApp for chats
• GitLab for version control

How to add a sub-issue in gitlab?

• In the main dashboard go to Issues -> New Issue
• Name the sub-issue using the following syntax: [name_of_parent_issue] name_of_sub_issue
• Tip: adding due-date may help you keep track your progress more efficiently.
