CS297 Proposal
Improving User Experiences for Wiki Systems
Parth Patel (parthamrutbhai.patel@sjsu.edu)
Advisor: Dr. Chris Pollett
Description:
Yioop is an open source web portal that has a search engine, a wiki system, and discussion board. Currently, Yioop uses a collaborative filtering media job to suggest discussion groups and discussion threads to users. Recently, a previous master's students, Anirudh Mallya, modified how the vectors for this system are calculated to use a hash2vec approach. Our projects aims to fully incorporate his system into Yioop and to extend it so that suggestions for Wiki pages and resources on wiki pages such as videos are also offered to the users. Another extension we will attempt is to use collaborative filtering on user searches in creating search result rankings.

Deliverables:
The full project will be done when CS298 is completed. One of the goals of CS 297 is understand the Yioop code base. To that end, Tthe following will
be done by the end of CS297:
1. Add an Emoji Picker tool to the Messages activity in Yioop.
2. Add at least five UI unit tests to Yioop.
3. Update the Manage Activity in Yioop so that unused credits can be converted back to real cash or cryptocurrencies
4. Rework Anirudh's hash2vec patch so that it can be incorporated into Yioop.
