This week, Team INSIGHT made significant progress toward key milestones in our project. We held a productive team meeting, during which we finalized and submitted our Preliminary Design Review (PDR) assignment for peer review. As part of the Concept Generation process, the team collaborated to research new approaches for improving our models and refining how we filter data, a crucial step in enhancing the system’s predictive capabilities.

The UI subteam continued its work on widget development and discussed the overall design direction. However, before proceeding to wireframes, we will need approval from the liaison engineers to ensure that our design aligns with project requirements. The Machine Learning (ML) and Feature Engineering (FE) teams focused on preliminary Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), identifying key features and gaining a deeper understanding of the data, which will inform future work.

Looking ahead to next week, each subteam has clear objectives. The UI team will create low-fidelity wireframes with different layout options for review. The FE team will dive deeper into EDA and continue transforming features, while the ML team will refine critical feature identification and continue with data-cleaning efforts. We will also collaborate on the Draft Preliminary Design Presentation and the Preliminary Business Case, setting the stage for the project’s next phase. Team meetings will be scheduled to ensure steady progress and alignment across all subteams.

In addition, we have action items for our liaison engineers: reviewing the defined project requirements and scope to provide feedback and ensure that our objectives remain aligned with the overall project goals. We’re confident that we’ll continue to meet our milestones efficiently with this focused approach.
