Home Stretch

Long time no see!

Busy couple weeks in regards to the second class I’m taking this term, as well as working with my group mates on the capstone project. We’ve tried multiple different incarnations of how to get a better accuracy rating when it comes to making predictions for genres, and we finally settled on generating spectrograms and reading the mel-frequency data encoded within them. One of my partners and I worked a couple late nights figuring that aspect out, and we’re confident about the approach moving forward.

Moving Forward

It’s all about bringing the project home now. I believe we’ll be spending the next two weeks finishing up the poster portion of the assignment, and working on the output to the user. The accuracy of the model could use a bit of work as well. I don’t know that we’ll have to time to refine it further; after all, it has a 50-60% accuracy rate, and at this point, delivering something that somewhat works is better than delivering nothing. We had an idea of doing a sort of animated bar/ring chart to display the levels of confidence in the prediction. I believe thats still the route we intend to go.

Also -> Countdown to baby: 18 weeks! Actually have the anatomy scan next week, which will be our first ultrasound view of our daughter since December! Can’t wait to see her again! We decided to name her Aurora, by the way.
