With Hurricane Helene canceling classes and shutting down campus operations, our team’s efforts were primarily virtual. Despite this setback, our team made good progress this week, acquiring facial analysis model training datasets, identifying latency optimization libraries, and finalizing our semester roadmap and risk assessment. We’ve also been finishing up our Preliminary Design Review report draft, keeping us on schedule.

Looking ahead, we’re focusing on audio analysis datasets, audio-to-transcript libraries, and Large Language Model research for transcript analysis. We’ll also begin developing our facial analysis model architecture. Currently, we’re coordinating with liaisons to arrange our sponsor site visit.
