Welcome to Earlham CS Senior Capstone Experience.

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

This week I recovered all of the data sets I found last semester that were on my other computer. I then downloaded and extracted the data. I also chose to set up my own Developer SQL database on my laptop … Read More

Name of Your Project Driver Drowsiness Detection Using Deep Neural Networks What research topic/question your project is going to address? Driving while feeling sleepy or tired is one of the main causes of traffic accidents. One solution for this might … Read More

This past week, I have started phase 1 of my project, testing the physical security of the network. Along with starting this phase, I started to write the Google survey that will be used w/ the social engineering experiment. I … Read More

In the past week, I have spent most of my capstone time organizing my project and testing some options for the machine learning component. I have been working with fast.ai and ImageAI python packages, trying to set up some groundwork … Read More

I forked MLMAN, a PyTorch model that achieved the second-highest accuracy of validation on the FewRel dataset for semantic relation extraction. Running locally with a useful amount of iterations, it took to long to train, so I will be training … Read More

Over this week I finished up an non-contiguous IFF and OR gadgets, however I came to the conclusion, after meeting with Igor, that there does not seem to be a way to effectively put together these two gadgets. However, we … Read More

My project is to collect and study the Facebook Reactions and comments on posts by U.S. politicians to see if bias exists based on the gender of the politician. I have decided with Charlie’s advice to focus my project on … Read More

I decided to change my modeling method to neural networks. I have read a paper called Text-Independent Speaker Verification Using 3D Convolutional Neural Networks and checked their resources on GitHub. I tried to run their demo but required packages couldn’t … Read More

I made a visualization (plot) displaying ingredient composition similarity between different products and skin types. I attached two drop-down options for users to select from product categories and skin types. I also attached labels to the graph so that it … Read More

Working on the login and sign up system. Reading existing papers that talk about such system. Sign up will be via Zimbra only since using Facebook and other applications could lead to fraud accounts. The home page would be ready … Read More

Name of Your Project Detect and Translate Chinese text in images What research topic/question your project is going to address? Lately many translator applications have introduced the new feature that can scan a document or take an image with texts … Read More

I go through the project again because it has been a while since I had CS 388 last Spring. I downloaded the data set and started doing some data manipulation and preprocessing. I will start looking at the models for … Read More

It was the first week, and we had out presentations. I also found an advisor. Everything is swell.

For the past week, I went back to my materials in CS388 and re-read my proposal along with the research papers in the proposals. In the following week, I need to obtain the dataset and learn (at least partially), the … Read More

This week I worked on setting up Keras and completed a course on deep learning using Keras (Learn Keras: Build 4 Deep Learning Applications). As I prepped for implementing the project, one of the significant challenges I have encountered is … Read More
