Welcome to Earlham CS Senior Capstone Experience.

I couldn’t do much due to comps, but collected all information from participants to conduct the validation process. I also ran their results on my software and recorded the results. This week, I will work on extracting relevant reviews from … Read More

This week I further improved the pre-processing of sentences so that they are cleaner and easier to read on output. I then downloaded some previous year project posters to help with designing my own and have already completed half of … 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

This past week I mainly worked on the first draft of my poster. It was much easier to complete since I have the majority of my project finished. In the coming week, I plan to continue my testing with my … Read More

I am having trouble with binding the C++ code to Python. Besides that pretty much everything is finished. This week was (is going to) spent on working on the poster.

I worked on presenting the proof in the most succinct way possible for the poster. I worked on several iterations and finally narrowed down on what is the current first draft. I also received feedback on the first draft of … Read More

I submitted the second software video. Finishing up the first version of the poster. I also received feedback on the first draft of my paper from Charlie, and discussed the paper and feedback with Charlie. Got valuable suggestion to work … 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. 

I am struggling with linking my C++ code and Python code. The conversion from numpy array to cv2::Mat and back is the problem. There are libraries to help with that, but I fail at setting them up.

In the past week, I mainly worked on implementing a simple interface for my program. I decided to take text inputs for skin type and beauty effects and use a button that returns the recommended products when clicked. To test … Read More

During the past couple of weeks, I made some good progress on my project. I now have a functioning driver file that the user will run to train or validate a model, or to predict from their input data. This … Read More

I’ve done some work on the configuration parser to enable to core of the project to work: allowing a user to generate a ui with functionality from a text file. All i’ve been able to do so far runtime wise … Read More

I spent this week on finishing up a very detailed proof that Parks is NP complete. I also worked on improving the exposition of ideas leading up to the main result in my paper, which really helped me with the … Read More

Did not get much to do due to the college shut down caused by corona virus. Hoping to get in touch with my advisor and figuring out the remaining schedule.

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

I parallelized some of the python code. I also rewrote the color processing code into C++. The C++ code for individually changing each pixel is 600 times faster. I read up on how to make images of food look better … Read More
