Inspiration
Creating a robotic head that portrays emotions for an artificial intelligence class at school - this will take in a sentence and send the emotion to him in order for him to make the face
What it does
uses twilio to take text messages containing a sentence, and then replies with an emotion that is being portrayed by the sentence: Love, Fear, Anger, Sadness, Joy, or Surprise
How I built it
Takes sentence sent and processes it using Stanford's NLP kit. using the parsed words - it figures out emotions portrayed by the individual words and gives them a weight based on how the word was used in the sentence. after it computes that, it determines the most likely emotion

What I learned

What's next for TheSentimentalElephant
