UniJudge

UniJudge is a web app that determine the originality of project submissions on Devpost. It compiles a list of hackathon projects that a judge can use to verify whether a similar project has been done in the past by one of the same contributors. If there is a similarity in one of the past projects, the judge is able to view those projects and can view the links to those projects. The similarity analysis is done using Google Cloud's Natural Language Processing API.
