Welcome to Earlham CS Senior Capstone Experience.

I’ve finished writing the Literature Review for my idea “Fire Spread Simulation Using Cellular Automata.” After reading the papers for my research, I found a recent paper on this topic which used Machine Learning to solve the drawbacks of previous … Read More

I’ve chosen “Fire Simulation Using Cellular Automata” as my final idea. I have also met with Charlie and decided to meet every week on Monday. I will also meet with Xunfei regularly for my research. Xunfei has suggested that I … Read More

I finalized my proposal to “Applying Voiceprint Recognition Technology to Identity Verification”. The keywords are voice recognition, voiceprint, feature extraction, voice detection, voice verification. The difficulty I might encounter is that there may be background noise in the voice input. If … Read More

Received feedback for LR. I understood the mistakes I made and working on the revised LR. I also found additional papers that I will use. Met with Xunfei to discuss proposal outline and LR.

I did not add an update to week 6 due to the long weekend but had been working on my literature review, which I finished today. It was very useful to read and re-read certain articles and realise some are … Read More

I have decided on the project I will be working on as my senior project. I have talked to Charlie about it, discuss my ideas regarding this project. He will be my advisor for the project. I have found 10 … 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 have talked to Xunfei about my 3 ideas and decided to discard one of my 3 ideas because of overhead issues. I wrote 2 annotated bibliographies of my 2 ideas with 3 papers each. I have also done more … Read More

I wrote 3 annotated bibliographies, one for each idea, and each of the annotated bibliographies is composed of 2 papers I have found for my ideas. I went to San Diego to attend Tapia conference of diversity in computing.

I’ve finalized the base project idea – I’m going with the one involving music generating AI. Additionally, I’ve officially gotten a proposal adviser, Xunfei, who I’ll be meeting with every Wednesday morning. I’m having some issues in limiting the scope … Read More

The First Responders Tech idea is not panning out in terms of finding any relevant research articles so that may be way to difficult for me to achieve in this time frame The Secure Paperless Voting Machine is working out … Read More

Updates in Ideas My first “Fake News Detector” idea has remained mostly the same I still have not come up with a more doable idea for the secure paperless voting machines because there’s so much oversight with voting regulations and … Read More

My project is using  Voice Print Recognition technology to check if the voiceprint of the input match the corresponding one in the database. This technology can be used in many identity verification scenes like customer services for bank, door lock, business … Read More

This week I mainly finished my LR and spoke in detail regarding the project idea with Xunfei. It seems I like I know which technology to progress with and eliminate the two I was debating before. I also worked on … 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

This week, I finalized who my advisor will be (Charlie). I also decided that I will be working on my security testing idea as my main project. To start this, I spoke with Brendan Post (IT) to discuss my ideas. … Read More
