Project Description:

Veterans can have a hard time returning to civilized life. They can end up in various crises such as arrest, hospitalization, relapse, and angry outbursts.

Project Goal:

Using data we collect from mobile applications that we built and continue to build, we want to create a machine learning algorithm that uses NLP (Natural Language Processing) to predict crisis events in veterans.

Tentative Milestones:

  • Read research articles about:
    • Text/group messaging systems
    • Natural language processing
  • Gather:
    • Survey data
    • Feedback data
    • Text/group messaging data
  • Implement:
    • Text/group messaging system
    • Machine learning algorithm that uses NLP
