Active Citizen is an open source library, API and UI for activity streams and notifications
using machine learning to recommend content to users.
https://github.com/rbjarnason/active-citizen
Here are basic user instructions.
Install PredictionIO
Install Universal Recommendation
Import your data with the Active Citizen events_importer script (if you already have some data)
train the template
deploy the template
https://prediction.io/ and https://github.com/actionml/universal-recommender
Here is a Dockerfile that can either be used to build a Docker container with PredictionIO
and Universal Recommendation or as a recipe for building your own non-Docker Ubuntu/Debian
based predictionIO VM on any cloud or locally.
https://github.com/rbjarnason/docker-predictionio/blob/master/Dockerfile
Install TensorFlow
The python classifier scripts are in active-citizen/engine/classifications
The export files for Your Priorities content are in active-citizen/exporters
Currently you need to use the exporters to generate datasets for the TensorFlow python scripts
Example dataset from our Better Reykjavik citizen particiaption website is provided in
active-citizen/exporters/datasets/better_reyjkavik
If you want to help us translate the app to your language please use Trensifex for online
translation for the app. It's easy to use and free for open source projects. See instructions
in the link below.
Our mission is to bring people together to debate and prioritize innovative ideas
to improve their communities.
