Although the team is early into the spring semester, the CHAMPS have already increased collaborative efforts to maintain project deadlines. For example, the CHAMPS embraced the use of Jira for weekly tracking, improving project management, and updating the Gantt chart to accurately reflect the semester’s roadmap. Itzel and Sara analyzed the remaining event types while Sarah focused on performing feature reduction on existing IP and credit card features. Michael continued work on system optimization and began tackling a CNN-LSTM retraining issue. Simultaneously, John focused on researching and developing a detailed report on the sequence-to-sequence model. The team also reconnected with Verifone sponsors, Darryl Miller and Brian Russell, this week. The CHAMPS must now compile a list of requests and questions based on their analysis. Members will continue to analyze events into the next week for feature reduction and optimization. At the moment the team is working closely with coach Dr. Rong Zhang to collaboratively debug a training issue. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting journey.
