kmalta / SmartMultipleChoice

In this project, we will attempt to construct a model that can answer multiple-choice questions through information retrieved from the web. In order to benchmark our results and give our project context, we will explore the “The Allen AI Science Challenge,” located on a machine learning contest website called Kaggle.com. By using web APIs/web searches, we effectively disqualify ourselves, but we wish to attempt the problem regardless for research purposes.

SmartMultipleChoice

In order to accomplish our goals quickly by bootstrapping this system, we must disqualify ourselves from the prize money. To put this in perspective, it is highly unlikely we would build a system that can achieve top 3 leaderboard results, so this isn't unreasonable.

Web REST apis:

1. indico.io

   Documentation: https://indico.io/docs

   Request Limit: 50k per month

   Installation:

    #requests >= 1.2.3
    $ `pip install requests`
   
    #six >= 1.3.0
    $ `pip install six`
   
    #pillow >= 2.8.1
    $ `pip install pillow`
   
    $ `pip install indicoio`
   

2. www.alchemyapi.com

   NOTE: ALCHEMY API ISN'T WORKING RIGHT NOW. THEY CLAIM MY API KEY IS INVALID

   Documentation: http://www.alchemyapi.com/api

   Request Limit: 1k per day

   Installation:

    $ `pip install requests`

    If you prefer to place the files elsewhere, you must add your path to your header
    in your Python files:
   
    import sys
    sys.path.append('FILL_IN_PATH_HERE/alchemyapi_python')
   
   
    $ `git clone https://github.com/AlchemyAPI/alchemyapi_python.git`
    $ `cd alchemyapi_python/`
   
    # Fill in our API_KEY from the secrets file
    $ `python alchemyapi.py OUR_API_KEY`
   
    If this gives you an error, I recommend updating your python version.  I had 
    the problem where pip install verified installation of requests but I was unable
    to import the module.  EZ update fix.
   
    Now at the top of each python document that you will add the following:
   
        "from ../alchemyapi import AlchemyAPI"
   
    Instantiating an object is as simple as:
   
        "alchemyapi = AlchemyAPI()"
   
    Example:
   
        myText = "I'm excited to get started with AlchemyAPI!"
        response = alchemyapi.sentiment("text", myText)
        print "Sentiment: ", response["docSentiment"]["type"]
   

Gensim's python package of Word2Vec:

Documentation: https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/models/word2vec.html

Installation:

Note, this may require dependencies that I am not aware of since
I may have had them already downloaded.  This may include the package numpy.


$ `pip install gensim`
