Week 23: Telling Our Story

With just 4 weeks until our final design review, its time to start wrapping up the technical progress and focusing on telling our story. This week, the team completed and submitted our video concept storyboard and made plans to record and edit the video. The video focuses less on the technical implementation of the project, instead giving the viewer a sense of the real-world problem and how our product solves it. We also got started brainstorming our poster, which will serve as a one-stop source of information about our project for passersby at FDR. On a technical note, we made significant improvements to our recurrent neural network this week, including properly handling 32 vs 64 bit input and running the first successful performance test on an arbitrary test set. These advancements bring our prototype one step closer to completion. We are looking forward to our second prototype inspection day this upcoming week. In fact, this week we had the opportunity to present our plans for the event and received valuable feedback from our peers. Our main two goals for the event are to demonstrate how our product solves the problem at hand, and also to capture any final pieces of advice to implement into our project in the final few weeks of the course.
