Welcome to Earlham CS Senior Capstone Experience.

After talking to Ajit about the problems I have been running into with my virtual machines I’ve made the decision to switch to using the Earlham servers for the purpose of running my experiments and collecting data. There’s only one … Read More

Finished bibliography. Selected two topics and prepared topics presentation. Started literature review.

In the past week, I have been working on the related for my three project ideas. I wrote an annotated bibliography for each topic with five different sources. This week got rid of one of the ideas and decided to … Read More

Prepared a presentation for class on my final two topics, image stitching and predicting premier league games. Started searching for additional topics so I can meet the 8 requirement for the imminent lit review.

I found some quirks and issues with the way NVDA works in different settings. I can now get a transcript with the appropriate details by using object review mode in Firefox, but not by navigating the objects normally or while … Read More

Continuing from last week, I was able to change the implementation of the Scikit-Learn wrapper for TSVM from Python2 to Python3. I am currently getting a new deprecation warning caused by TSVM. It seems like the code for TSVM assumes I … Read More

Build a rough machine learning pipeline for testing. Worked with Ajit to update timeline. Started with the first draft of paper.

I am certain at this point that I will be going in a direction where I will be doing research on a database. My first thought was to explore how to store Tree Data Structures in Postgresql. Which led me … Read More

For my project, optimizing an AI agent for Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, I’ve recently changed the scope of my project somewhat. Instead of trying to improve the AI agent’s chance of winning a game of DCSS, I’m now working to … Read More

Nothing much to report, worked on my annotated bibliography and am narrowing down my interest to just two of my three ideas. Currently leaning towards 2d stitching, potentially expanding it to include some 3d point cloud work as well, but … Read More

I’ve laid down the bare bones for my thesis paper.   With the main project however, I am running into problems with my virtual machines and blockchain code, rather I keep running into problem after problem with them. I plan … Read More

Continued working on Annotated Bibliography: Found more papers on the topics, Did the first pass reading for all of them.

This week I’ve gotten minorly stuck. I know that NVDA is able to grab — and speak — certain information about the data visualizations I’ve created(it might say, for example, “graphic New York” when I navigate to a point representing … Read More

During the past week, I run into a few problems. I kept getting a PendingDeprecationWarning coming from one the methods used from Scikit Learn. It seems that something has changed or is currently changing on Numpy that affects Scikit learn modules. … Read More

Created a smaller dataset using pySpark for training and testing the fake news model.

I’ve been researching Voronoi graph regions and their usage in recommendation system. I’m particularly interested in finding open-source implementation of Voronoi graph regions usage. I’ve also been reading and researching FiveThirtyEight’s gerrymandering maps and how they created their maps of … Read More
