The goal

The goal of this exercise is to create a product to highlight the prediction algorithm that you have built and to provide an interface that can be accessed by others.

Objective of this project

  • Create a Shiny app that takes as input a phrase (multiple words) in a text box input and outputs a prediction of the next word.

Review criteria

Data Product

  • Does the link lead to a Shiny app with a text input box that is running on shinyapps.io?
  • Does the app load to the point where it can accept input?
  • When you type a phrase in the input box do you get a prediction of a single word after pressing submit and/or a suitable delay for the model to compute the answer?
  • Put five phrases drawn from Twitter or news articles in English leaving out the last word. Did it give a prediction for every one?

Slide Deck

  • Does the link lead to a 5 slide deck on R Pubs?
  • Does the slide deck contain a description of the algorithm used to make the prediction?
  • Does the slide deck describe the app, give instructions, and describe how it functions?
  • How would you describe the experience of using this app?
  • Does the app present a novel approach and/or is particularly well done?
  • Would you hire this person for your own data science startup company?
