Dependencies

We haven't tested our code with python2, but we recommend installing python3.

We recommend using pyenv to create a virtual environment to manage dependencies. Once you set up and activate your preferred environment, install the dependencies using

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Data

We used the IBM API and DeepAffects API, so you'll need to obtain API keys for both of them. In the transcript_analysis directory, you'll place a json with the key value pairs of API_KEY and your IBM API Key. In the audio_analysis directory, you'll place a json with the key value pairs of API_KEY and your DeepAffects API Key.

Then, you'll have to scrape the speeches using

python speech_scraper/scrape.py

And then you'll run the IBM analyses using

python transcript_analysis/ibm_api.py

Finally, you'll run the DeepAffects analyses using

python audio_analysis/audtio_emotions.py

Run the Project

Finally, you can run the project using

python server/__init__py
