I have been working on cleaning up and refining my code as well as the frontend. I also worked on the final poster as well as the final version of the paper.

I have been working on wrapping up my project and worked on finishing up the final paper and the poster. The obstacle remains the same where the model gives out very erratic outputs for sentences that are not in its … Read More

I worked on finishing the frontend and wrapping up my project and figuring out what metrics to use measure and compare my models with. I also worked on the poster for my project. This upcoming week I will work on … Read More

I have finished the front end of the project, and am trying to wrap it up. One obstacle that I am facing is that my project proposed to have human testing, which will not be possible due to the current … Read More

Having implemented my first two models, I started working on the front end of my project for the user to interact with. This upcoming week I will keep working on the frontend as well as the poster and the paper. 

This past week I worked on my other model that uses both engaging/readable and non-engaging/readable advertisements, I found that this model does not perform well because of the lack of parallel data and sentence structures between the two different sentences. … Read More

Since I uploaded the architecture design last week, this will I will go back to posting the normal updates here – I have been slowly working on my second model that I will compare my initial mode to. I have … Read More

— Elevator Pitch —  My project aims to use a sequence to sequence encoder-decoder model to make text-based advertisements more engaging and readable. This will help businesses get an edge over their competitors by attracting new customers as well as retaining … Read More

I finished writing my initial model and have trained it using a small sample dataset. The accuracy of my initial model is quite bad. I am currently researching how I can modify and improve the accuracy of my model as well as downloading … Read More

Last week I worked on collecting and preprocessing the data using Groupon API. I also started learning about and implementing my autoencoder model. So far the obstacle has been the learning curve but I have been extensively reading about neural … Read More

Since my project involves a significant part that’s marketing, I was advised by my instructor to talk to Seth and other professors about how I should approach a dataset. After talking to them, I have decided that a good approach … Read More

Due to a lack of available usable datasets, after talking to my advisor and instructor I decided to modify my project to focus on readability and sentiment instead. I researched papers on readability and sentiment this last week and have … Read More

I have researched and read a few more papers in the last week. I have expanded upon my analyze -> split -> replace modules with actual implementation details using an encoder-decoder model to swap less engaging text with more engaging … Read More

This week I have been working on my presentation and have refined my proposal a bit. I will keep working on my presentation until the upcoming Wednesday as I wait for feedback on my second draft of my proposal

I have mostly worked on the second draft of my proposal in the past week. I simplified and restructured my framework model. I also looked for more use cases of my project and decided what frameworks to use while implementing … Read More

In the past week, I have spent most of my time working on the first draft of the proposal. I decided to research and include a new category of papers in my proposal that I had not spent a lot … Read More

I extensively worked on the proposal last week, reading more papers and writing out what I plan to do helped me figure out the scope of the proposed project. I also experimented a bit more with tensorflow. I made some … Read More

In order to get more familiar with neural networks I decided to use a program that lets you create neural networks. In order to do this I started reading about tensorflow and tensorflow graphs and their inner workings like variables, … Read More

This past week I worked on revising my literature review as well as writing my proposal outline that will serve as a starting point for my first proposal draft. I met with my advisor who helped me to come up … Read More

I read over 20 papers in the last two weeks to work on my literature review. I met with my advisor and talked to him about my proposal and what could be improved in my literature review. I have found … Read More

I now know what idea I am going to go with, it’s a new idea and is not related to any of my old ideas. My new idea is about using neural networks and natural language processing to predict a … Read More

I read more papers on my ideas, met with my advisor to schedule a weekly meeting and discussed a new idea proposed by the company I interned with this summer. The new idea is a Neural Network driven A.I. that … Read More

Most of the articles I have read this week have been quite informative and take the time to explain even the most basic things. However, this has not been true for all the articles that I have read. Some of … Read More

I did a 2 pass reading of all the sources that I had collected over the last two weeks. I realized that some of the things I had in mind already exist. I’m still researching about pre-existing technologies/frameworks that could … Read More

3d Printer A new way of 3d printing. The implementation includes a pixel grid that is controlled by a computer, the 3d object is converted into layers, the layer then controls the corresponding pixels the molten plastic flows through. Based … Read More

Name of Your Project? Pixel Printer What research topic/question your project is going to address? My project aims to improve the current process of 3d printing that is used for mainstream industrial 3d printing. What technology will be used in … Read More
