awful meme rater

<(How awful can this get?)

What the heck is a awful meme rater?

As the name says, it rates memes and it does an awful job while at it. Please check the Awful meme rater.pdf document to get more in-depth details than you would get here.

Requirements

Creating the dataset requires Tesseract to use the python library.

How does it work?

It has two files and each one does their thing. Remember, KISS (keep it simple, stupid)

generate_dataset.py:

• Gets memes from reddit.com/r/memes
• Stores the images and a .attrs file (detailed in the .pdf)

kmeans.py:

• Applies k-means to fit memes to popular and unpopular clusters
• You can add your own meme with your own .attrs file and see if you're gonna reach hot
