Problem Statements
Context-Aware Inferential Bot
Design a bot that understands user needs and preferences through natural, free-flowing dialogue, without asking direct/explicit questions
Image Classification and Tagging System
Build a system that automatically identifies and categorizes elements in images. Whether it’s detecting specific objects, environments, or other features, the goal is to make the image easier to search and navigate by applying relevant tags. You can use a variety of approaches, whether that’s through visual pattern recognition, tagging strategies, or innovative user-driven solutions.
Dynamic Image Description Generator
Develop a system that takes an image and generates a detailed, context-rich description of what’s in it. Whether you're focusing on simple captioning or something more complex (like understanding interactions or environments), think about how to communicate an image’s content clearly and informatively. Your solution could explore traditional image processing, narrative generation, or even creative forms of description.
Automated Marketing Content Creation Tool
Create a tool that automatically generates professional marketing materials—like brochures, promotional videos, or even social media content—based on images, text, or other inputs. The system should be flexible, offering users the ability to produce branded, high-quality marketing assets. Whether you take a templated approach or explore a more generative, customizable solution, the focus is on creating impactful content with minimal effort.
