Talked to Dave and uploaded the outline for the proposal paper

For this week, I have been looking for research papers on the three topics that I have chose, specifically for the Text Categorization and the Air Quality Monitoring system. Two things I found out:

– Air Quality Monitoring system:There have been many research on a low-price air quality system, some of which use the same technology as I do. This gives me two advantages: First is that I can reference and study those paper for my research. Secondly, I can compare the results I made on my model with that of other researchers so that my model monitoring system would be the same as the others (which would indicate that my model is working correctly).

– Text Categorization: It has been a research and application topic for over a decade. Many researchers have made considerable amount of progress on this topic, which provides me with more insight into the way to approach, which model should I use, etc… Furthermore, I have not found any documents about the application of Text Categorization on Social Media. Therefore my application can be a newly added topic. One thing that I need to worry about is how I am able to get the post and analyze them. Also, I need a pre-classified dataset to train my model in, which I haven’t found. Other than that, I think this can be a great topic to look into.

I have changed two of my ideas upon re-evaluating the achievability of the project given my skill and the time limit I have
