CS388- Final pitches – Eliza Vardanyan

1. Fake news/unreliable source detection Fake news detection algorithm would be an improved version of detecting unreliable sources. For this, I would need to come up with a database of credible data and identify the trustworthiness of the source based on that database.  Combination of multiple features will be required to identify to then evaluate … Read more

Phi – Three Pitches

First Idea: Peer-to-peer chat webapp This app allows two(or more) people to instantly and directly connect with each other and exchange messages without any third party authorization. It operates completely on a peer-to-peer network, established among the users. This solves the privacy and tracking concerns of users who want to have a personal chat with … Read more

Yujeong’s Pitches for CS

CS 388 David Barbella Yujeong Lee 1) Sentiment Analysis on Popular Fiction Books (Data Science)  Research topic/question: People have long discussed “formulas” for writing successful narrative fiction, such as the three-act structure or the hero’s journey, both models that follow a certain plot formula. I am interested in finding out whether a sentiment progression throughout … Read more

Pitches

Use deep reinforcement learning to tune the hyperparameters (learning rate, lambda – regularization parameter, number of layers, number of units in each layer, different activation functions) of a Neural Network. The overall cost function of RL agent will include the metrics such as accuracy of the NN (or F1 score) on training and validation sets, … Read more

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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. … Read more

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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.

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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.

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, … Read more

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 … Read more

CS488-Week11-Update
