This week Banary was reviewed by the Quality Review Board (QRB) on January 28, 2025 on the current status of CodeMine. The QRB consisted of Dr. Lattore, Dr. Abd-Elrahman, Dr. Patrick, and Dr. Resch (our coach). We had practiced presenting our slides the day before and the day of, feeling confident showcasing our goals and accomplishments. Banary was proud to show the kanban board we created outlining exactly what needs to be completed to ensure CodeMine completion. Following the presentation, we were given recommendations to improve our plan moving forward: include an explicit timeline, identify parallelism in tasks, search for additional models, and list our future risks in order of severity.

Finally we finished off the week with our weekly meeting with RTX! They were impressed with our organization and professionalism of our work tree and kanban board presented in QRB 1. Randall encouraged us to explore the paper and HuggingFace, as we will be in the coming week up to the February 14th deadline we have created.

Team Banary is excited to improve our work structure, show parallelism, and implement the model found in the research paper and those found in Huggingface to improve CodeMine.

Until next time. — Team Banary
