This week I first worked on creating an outline for my final paper, which was useful as it sharpened my current understanding of my project and where it is headed. I also was working with a new model and was able to successfully train it, save checkpoints and load them. I also created basic pre-processing functions for my data to match the format of input sets.

Loading of weights did seem to not work with this model. When I reached a checkpoint with 80%+ accuracy and saved the weights, I followed up with loading the weights and feeding in test data from the dataset, but accuracy dropped to 5%. This was extremely confusing and is my priority to understand this week otherwise I will have to find another model.
