This week, Team INSIGHT focused on collaboration and refinement across all subteams. A major highlight was the collective effort to prepare for the QRB2 presentation and work on the FDR documents, ensuring alignment across different project components.

The QRB2 presentation was a significant milestone for the team, as we worked together extensively to create a well-structured and informative presentation. Unlike QRB1, where we faced challenges in delivering a cohesive message, QRB2 was a more polished and confident performance. We dedicated time to practicing our delivery, refining our talking points, and ensuring each team member was well-prepared to address any questions. This preparation paid off, as QRB2 was far more successful than QRB1, demonstrating our team growth and ability to communicate effectively.

The FE team conducted a thorough assessment of the feature list to verify calculation accuracy, a critical step in ensuring the reliability of our models. Meanwhile, the ML team regenerated synthetic data to enhance testing capabilities and continued evaluating benchmark metrics to gauge model performance effectively.

Looking ahead, next week, we will focus on finalizing the FDR outline. The UI team will continue preparations for usability testing to refine the user experience. Based on performance results, the FE team plans to test and potentially reintroduce some of the eliminated features. The ML team will initiate Optuna testing to fine-tune hyperparameters, further optimizing model accuracy and efficiency.

We are steadily progressing toward our goals with continued teamwork and iterative improvements, and we are looking forward to another productive week—until next time!
