A recommendation system that uses text mining to suggest songs to a user based on their desired mood and a few keywords. It asks the user to provide what their desired mood is from a 5-level ordinal scale (very sad, sad, neutral, happy, and very happy) and some key words, and the software recommends songs that match that user-defined sentiment and keywords.

By using historical data, we attempted to predict home prices using multiple linear regression and other methods to find the best-possible prediction model for home prices in Austin. The use of detailed historical data about property sales, the intent is to offer home buyers guidance to help them understand if the sale price for a house is within overall market expectation, helping them on the decision-making process.

Hybrid images are static images that change in interpretation as a function of the viewing distance. The basic idea is that high frequency tends to dominate perception when it is available, but, at a distance, only the low frequency (smooth) part of the signal can be seen. By blending the high frequency portion of one image with the low-frequency portion of another, you get a hybrid image that leads to different interpretations at different distances. This is an implementation of the techniques described in the SIGGRAPH 2006 paper by Oliva, Torralba, and Schyns

Implementation of the image quilting algorithm for texture synthesis and transfer, described in this SIGGRAPH 2001 paper by Efros and Freeman. Texture synthesis is the creation of a larger texture image from a small sample. Texture transfer is giving an object the appearance of having the same texture as a sample while preserving its basic shape.
