Here’s the general idea/phases:
- Setup a website to serve as a dream journal for users (login page, blog style journal)
- Content will be compared against a dream dictionary, specific words will be isolated and users will see highlighted terms in their journal entries. When clicked on, they can see what those terms mean in dreamland. This would be accomplished using Bayesian filtering.
- Final phase:
- Extract connections between users and display a visualization of these (i.e. similar words, themes, profile interests, etc.)
- Allow users to add tags to their dreams- Allow users to add to the dream dictionary in a wiki format
Our plan is to do this in PHP and the visualization end in Processing.
