CS488-Week13-Update
I mostly worked on my poster during this week. There were a number of small issues with my original poster created using LaTeX, which I could not fix without delving into a lot of code, so I recreated it using power point and improved it based on Charlie’s feedback. Igor, my advisor, also pointed out a number of improvements that could be made to my paper, so I worked on an intermediate draft for additional feedback before I complete the final version.
CS488 Update
In the past week, I worked on modifying my diagram and finished generating results. I also tried to draw meaningful insights from the validation results. After chatting with Xunfei, I finalized my poster and thought about elements to add to my paper.
CS488 – Week 15
This week I prepared my poster for the final submission, while editing also reworking my paper for the final submission next week. Last week I received feedback regarding user interaction and did research this week into what is the best way to build a GUI for my software.
CS 488 – Week 14
I completed the second draft of my paper which required changes in the diagram, motivation for the project. The final draft shall have all the required and suggested materials. I am working on the final version of the poster which requires similar changes as the paper. Currently the application is in testing process. The QR code generation, scanning and the user login/logout process is all set. The aim is to improve the return books feature by adding an additional security layer to prevent book thefts. The librarian gets a list of books away from the library on the homepage and the student is charged a fine if its returned late.
CS 488 – Week 12 Update
I am working on distance calculation. I had to start from scratch since there are no tutorials online to follow so it is taking up time. The image model is still not working so I am going to make the user to input fruit name instead. I am going to wrap up the application development. Next week will be for accuracy testing.
CS 488 – Week 11 Update
I worked on the project poster. I also continued working on software demo v2 and finally submitted it. I discussed with Becky on scaling the accuracy testing, and the method I should use. I have found the food density data that I was planning to use is very limited so I am going to put some more data by manual calculation. I am focusing on fruits instead of foods.
CS 488 – Week 10 Update
I worked on integrating the camera into my application. I found the bug for image processing, but I am working on finding a way to install the CUDA toolkit on Google Cloud VM. I also worked on software demo version 2. I made some changes in my project to scale it down discuss those with Becky.
CS 488 – Week 9 Update
I was mainly in the process of transitioning.
CS 488 – Week 13
I have been working on wrapping up my project and worked on finishing up the final paper and the poster. The obstacle remains the same where the model gives out very erratic outputs for sentences that are not in its vocabulary but works well with sentences that it has seen before. I will keep continuing to keep working on this and try to figure out a way to make it work, but this goal might be outside the scope of the project given the current workload and time.
CS488 – Week 14 – Update
During the past week, I have submitted the second version of my paper. After submission, I have continued working on the final parts of the paper. These parts include finishing the social engineering results and making the recommended changes to certain images to enhance my paper. With the given feedback, I have also started making changes to my senior poster which is due Sunday.
CS488 – Week 14
This week I submitted my second draft of the paper, which required lots of results production as well as time to write. I graphed prediction trends between different materials of foreign data with my model which also was demonstrating how my model was performing. I received great feedback from my advisor regarding the poster and paper and will look to improve these both this week for final submission.
Week of April 20th
This last week I tried to connect my C++ code with my Python code. I failed because I couldn’t convert from cv::Mat to Numpy Array. There were several problems with that. I will instead save the output of my C++ code as a jpg, and read the jpg in python. This is still considerably faster than using Python for the image processing part.
CS488 Update
In the past week, I finished the coding part of my project and did some validation work. I revised my diagram and worked on my paper and poster. Next week, I will be focusing more on my paper and poster.
CS 488 – Week 13
The second video was primarily focussed on the student application. As of now, a user can search for books based on categories like sports, academics, fiction, etc. They can issue books by scanning the QR code as well. The homepage of the student app needs some work, it will show which book is currently issued and give a brief history of the user and their activities in the library. In the coming week, I shall work on the 2nd draft of my poster, hope to complete the project and work on testing.
CS 488 – Week 12
I worked on finishing the frontend and wrapping up my project and figuring out what metrics to use measure and compare my models with. I also worked on the poster for my project. This upcoming week I will work on wrapping up my final paper and add the description of my second model to the final paper.
Week of April 13th
I finished the first draft of the poster. While doing that, I needed to get the accuracies for my AI model and my image processing algorithm overall.
My AI accuracy was around 90% for the testing set. However, I realized my initial idea for measuring image processing accuracy was flawed. I have been working on some new, improved ideas.
CS488 – Week 13
This week we had the first draft of the poster due, which meant producing and visualizing a lot of results from my project. From this motivation, I compared my predictions across very different data (news articles, fictional novels, ect) and also was able to produce a convolution matrix that showed just how accurate my model was. This coming week I want to transfer these results into the next paper draft and continue with the user flow of the software.
CS 488 Update
I’ve mostly been working on making the poster and validating results. I found out that my original plan for validation would not work as nicely, so I will discuss with Xunfei to figure out what I can do. My diagram also needs to be tweaked.
CS488-Week12-Update
I worked on the feedback I received from Igor concerning some of the difficult notation, and overall organization of my paper. I also removed some obvious lemmas and simplified the basic results for the second draft.
CS 488 – Week 12
I downloaded some past posters to understand how to present my project idea through a poster. Working on the second draft of paper. Finishing up the admin app, in progress to complete all the features of the student app by the end of this week.
CS488 – Update
I couldn’t do much due to comps, but collected all information from participants to conduct the validation process. I also ran their results on my software and recorded the results. This week, I will work on extracting relevant reviews from Sephora to evaluate the efficiency of my method.
CS488 – Week 12
This week I further improved the pre-processing of sentences so that they are cleaner and easier to read on output. I then downloaded some previous year project posters to help with designing my own and have already completed half of it. It showed me that now I need to work further on results to present, on the accuracy of my model outside of its dataset.
CS 488 – Week 11
I have finished the front end of the project, and am trying to wrap it up. One obstacle that I am facing is that my project proposed to have human testing, which will not be possible due to the current situation. I will be working on the poster in the next few days.
CS 488 – Update – April 6th
This past week I mainly worked on the first draft of my poster. It was much easier to complete since I have the majority of my project finished. In the coming week, I plan to continue my testing with my virtual servers, Kali and Metasploitable. Luckily, I have not encountered any obstacles when trying to use these two for testing. I also plan to continue work on the second draft of my paper.
Week of April 6th
I am having trouble with binding the C++ code to Python. Besides that pretty much everything is finished.
This week was (is going to) spent on working on the poster.
CS488-Week11-Update
I worked on presenting the proof in the most succinct way possible for the poster. I worked on several iterations and finally narrowed down on what is the current first draft. I also received feedback on the first draft of my paper from Charlie, and discussed the paper as well as Charlie’s feedback with Igor.
CS 488 – Week 11
I submitted the second software video. Finishing up the first version of the poster. I also received feedback on the first draft of my paper from Charlie, and discussed the paper and feedback with Charlie. Got valuable suggestion to work and improve in the second draft.
CS 488 – Week 10
Having implemented my first two models, I started working on the front end of my project for the user to interact with. This upcoming week I will keep working on the frontend as well as the poster and the paper.
Week of march 30
I am struggling with linking my C++ code and Python code. The conversion from numpy array to cv2::Mat and back is the problem. There are libraries to help with that, but I fail at setting them up.
