After browsing through the catalog of projects, I found myself getting excited for so many of them. At first, I picked out my top 10 most preferred projects. This list was already difficult to decide at first, but when I finally saw the requirement was to choose our top 5, this decision became even harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My original top 10 projects were chosen based mainly on 2 factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It was an Artificial Intelligence\/Machine Learning project, or<\/li><li>It was a game developed in Unity, or<\/li><li>It was a mobile project<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though I have never worked on an AI\/ML project before, I have always expressed an interest to do so. After reading the project descriptions, some of them sounded like they were designed to be a great learning opportunity for someone with zero experience. The same goes for a few Unity projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also took an elective at OSU in mobile app development, so I have had the chance to learn Flutter and Dart. The mobile app projects sounded like a great way to get practice and experience creating mobile apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To narrow my choices down to only 5, I decided that I would want to get an AI\/ML project above other projects because I have always wanted to learn more about it, and perhaps pursue a specialty in this field one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I picked 4 of the most accessible-looking AI\/ML projects from the standpoint of someone that had zero experience in these technologies. Although, I do have experience working in Python and C#.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5th project I chose was a fun looking mobile app idea, that behaves similarly to Uber or Toro to rent out your bicycles, called &#8220;The Bike Kollective.&#8221; I chose this in case I wasn&#8217;t chosen for an AI\/ML one due to lack of experience. Essentially, I chose the one mobile project that I would want to work on the most, if I didn&#8217;t get an AI\/ML project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This whole process has been very exciting. My top project choice was chosen because it gives the opportunity to learn Unity and AI\/ML using TensorFlow. I got very excited at this option. So much so, I realized that I am determined to learn Unity and TensorFlow, even if I do not chosen for one of these projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After some research, learning Unity and TensorFlow seemed very approachable and attainable. So, I have started my journey in learning those technologies by exploring online resources. Here&#8217;s hoping I learn fast enough to have a successful project this term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without further ado, my top 5 project choices for Capstone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1 &#8211; ML Breakout<\/li><li>2 &#8211; Algorithmic Stock Market Trading Strateges<\/li><li>3 &#8211; Fire Risk Prediction<\/li><li>4 &#8211; Top-n Music Genre Classification Neural Network<\/li><li>5 &#8211; The Bike Kollective<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1534723328310-e82dad3ee43f?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&amp;ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=736&amp;q=80\" alt=\"\" width=\"368\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption>AI will be watching you \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The process of choosing my project was packed with more emotional ups and downs that I ever would have expected.
