Term Project

The goal of the project is to design and develop a social networking service center.

The social networking service center provides the following capabilities:
  • Authenticate the user is a registered user
  • Let the user select a function
  • process the function
  • Enter the results into user records
  • Provide a learning mode so that a user can try to learn how to use the social networking service.

    For example, a social networking service for wedding planning may offer service functions such as: (a) find a place for wedding ceremony, (b) find a caterer, (c) find taxedo rental service for men, (d) find wedding gown rental service for women, (e) chat place for newly weds.

    You may use Kinect device as a gestural interface for the social network defined by your group. For example the wedding planner may wave her hands, and a different wedding gown will appear on the screen!

    There should be a recommender function. For example, there could be a recommender for taxedo rental.

    There should be a deep learning function. For example, the recommender can learn what is the preferred taxedo style from interactions with this customer and other similar customers.
