CHAMPS showcased model output and inspected data with liaisons.

As the Qualification Review Board (QRB) committee of coaches emphasized a couple of weeks ago, the Commander project lacks a model output evaluation method. While the CHAMPS continued to improve the models this week, the team prioritized developing testing data with Verifone liaisons, Darryl Miller and Brian Russell. Due to persistent legal constraints, the two liaison engineers are unable to provide flagged data from real-life fraudulent occurrences. Nevertheless, the CHAMPS and coach Dr. Zhang met with Brian and Darryl on Thursday to notate examples of anomalous behavior. The team can now fine-tune the models and features to catch the sequences highlighted by the liaisons. In the meantime, the CHAMPS accomplished a variety of tasks this week. The model team finished training the sequence-to-sequence model and built an interference pipeline. Concurrently, the feature engineering team created variance functions, analyzed feature reduction methods, and improved the unified preprocessor. The CHAMPS are expecting to receive more data from Brian and Darryl for training purposes next week and continue to steadily progress through the semester.
