LoveHacks - Campus Companion Finder

Placed 2nd out of 30+ projects

In this Hackathon, we engineered a data-driven program that leverages agglomerative clustering to process and cluster/pair similar students to find campus friend(s). We collected real student data and visualized our results with dendrograms to prove our concept. With our algorithm showing promise, we enhanced interpersonal relationships among 5000+ students on campus
