Project poster

IN-PART is a startup established in the UK. The company provides collaborative opportunities for universities and industries to commercialize innovative technologies at an early stage. The growth of the company calls for a more efficient match of technology with industrial interests, as well as an automated visualization platform. Our capstone project is rooted in such needs from IN-PART. We analyzed user interaction data collected from its website to implement a recommendation system and created a visualization interface to provide universities with industry feedback and quantify commercial interest in their technologies.
