Week 21

Accomplishments
We finished the paper we will submit to Tapia and Grace Hopper and have a very good start on the poster. The poster should be ready to print by the end of the week and we should get it in plenty of time for OCWiC. Throughout all of this we are still trying to get fasttext to run.
Weekly Goal
Finish the poster and to figure out the labeling system for fasttext. Our data needs reformatted to be run on this state of the art labeling system.

Week 20

Accomplishments
The poster is done and being printed. Several new graphics were made for the poster including a 3D representation of a convolutional neural network.
Weekly Goal
Present well at our conference and network.

Week 19

Accomplishments
Our model has been further improved and we are now getting accuracy ratings and graphs detailing how our model is functioning. We have enough results to present and simply need to compile them into a visually appealing way. The poster is started but needs the finer touches finished before next week.
Weekly Goal
Finish the poster!

Week 18

Accomplishments
We have a working model! To run the fasttext model we still need to rework the data into an appropriate form, but our convolutional neural network is working. We’re getting accuracy readings and can start to adapt it to find an optimal version.
Weekly Goal
Instead of reworking the data for the fasttext model, we’re going to focus on our poster and presentation for oiwic.

Week 17

Accomplishments
We just missed the deadline for MSR but we have a nearly completed paper. We are exploring alternative models to expand and improve ours, which is still touchy, before publication. Currently we are focused on fasttext.
Weekly Goals
We plan to debug our fasttext model and run it on our data. Maybe even attempt to integrate it into our current model.

Week 16

Accomplishments
We are having problems running our model. We've decided to run it on a new data set which, means I have rewritten my statistics code for this new and much larger data set. There were a few minor problems with the transfer. The formats of the times were different and the titles were all different, but after some minor tweaks it was working fine.
Weekly goal
We plan to fix the model and still submit in time for MSR.

Week 15

Accomplishments
We have completed most of the paper now. We have the related work, methods, introduction, and abstract done. Hannah has worked more examples with our convolutional neural network. The deadline for MSR is approaching quickly and we're quickly working to finish the paper.
Weekly Goal
We hope to finish running the model on our data and write the rest of our paper.
