The Fall 2023 semester is complete and the CHAMPS delivered their final assignment—the System Level Design Review. On Tuesday, December 5th the IPPD teams gathered in the Reitz Union to reunite with their sponsors. The day began with refreshments, followed by a lovely discussion between Dr. Edward Latorre and an IPPD alum. Teams were paired and dispersed across several rooms. The CHAMPS in particular were joined by Tower Vizion sponsored by Verizon and Echo Pilot sponsored by Freedom Scientific. During their presentation, the CHAMPS shared their problem statement, solution, and deliverables. Members explained the unsupervised machine learning model based on an autoencoder and shared the current architecture and features. Presentations were then followed by question and answer sessions. The general criticisms the CHAMPS received involved clarifying their evaluation procedures, addressing limitations due to a lack of information, and improving the complexity of the model. Nevertheless, all teams performed excellently and the CHAMPS are excited to continue their work next semester. The blogs will resume when the CHAMPS return to campus in early January. Until then, happy holidays and see you next year!
