Welcome to Earlham CS Senior Capstone Experience.

After speaking with Dave,I have realized my ideas are not focused enough and I need to inspire confidence. I will narrow my ideas specifically to: 1.Using neural networks to improve G.O.A.P 2.Neural networks in Intelligent Character. 3.A examination of Case … Read More

Initially I wanted to do something more towards HCI. These were the following ideas that I had: (1) Creating a chatbot using NLP where a user would talk to the chatbot and see if there could be some sort of … Read More

Background As a student I have realized that being able properly understand my personal academic data is very important. From grades and transcripts to majors and courses, I need to be able to clearly acquire the information about my academic … Read More

For this week, I reviewed the source material on decision tree creation, attempting to further my understanding, and think about where to begin editing. For next week, I will be setting up a git repo with the source code from … Read More

(Made my first entry as part of my Portfolio by accident) January 23rd, 2018 Spent time thinking and researching for a third idea, decided to go with an adaptation of one of my other ideas. ~2 hours 30 minutes.  

Background Ever since their introduction in the late 2000s, smartphones have been changing the landscape of people’s daily lives. As these devices get more popular, they are also getting more powerful. Today, we can hold in our hand a device … Read More

Background Cities are complicated systems that consist of numerous interconnected citizens, businesses, various transportation modes, services, and utilities. Scientists expect around 70% of the population to be located in cities and surrounding areas by 2050. Hence, the demand for smart … Read More

Aim of the project More and more large-scale Monte Carlo simulations are now run on parallel systems like networked workstations or clusters. In a parallel environment, the quality of a PRNG is even more important, to some extent because feasible … Read More

In machine learning, there has been a shift away from focusing on the creation complex algorithms to solve problems. Instead, a large focus has been on the application of simpler algorithms which learn from datasets. This shift has been made … Read More

No matter how developed technologies may become, humans need to consume food and convert into energy. Autotrophs, usually are plants, take inorganic compounds and convert into organics which then could be digested by animals. Growing a feeble seed into a … Read More

The technology of blockchain has reached the mainstream conscience as a result of the popularity of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Blockchain as implemented in Bitcoin is a distributed ledger system in which transaction history is maintained by a consensus of … Read More

The paper of my project will be developed based on the proposal. And the software components of my project are all listed in the proposal. The proposal is attached below.   HonglieHu_Proposal_FirstDraft

With the non-stop improvements in technology, more and more fields are trying to apply computer science to achieve their goals in a more efficient and less time consuming way. Sports are no outsiders to this group of fields. In sports, … Read More

My senior research is on adapting how decision trees in Python add data, to allow them to grow further after their initial creation. By allowing data to be added later, we can greatly reduce the time required to update a … Read More

In the past couple of decades, there has been a significant growing amount of research on Natural Language Processing (NLP) which has largely been motivated by its enormous applications. Some of the well-known systems that use NLP techniques include Siri … Read More

A Data Science and Machine Learning Project to explore the stock data of a particular stock exchange. The exploration will be focused on observing the repetitive trend in stock markets and relating it to the business cycles. Some questions that can … Read More
