Day 1 (7/8/19): Introduction

Today was my first day participating in the summer internship program for high school students at the RIT Imaging Center. The morning was spent completing the necessary in-processing such as setting up my computer account, id, and parking permit. After we completed this, the next four hours was spent on a team building exercise consisting of a scavenger hunt all around campus. We created a final video product to present to three judges, and although we didn't achieve as many points as we had hoped, the experience was a lot of fun and a great way to get to know the other interns. Finally, the rest of the day was spent talking with our research lab mentors. I was introduced to the different topics of material I will spend the rest of this week learning including Linear Algebra, Numpy, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Neural Networks. Establishing a solid foundation around these topics will allow me to complete valuable research in the lab in the future. Overall, today was a very exciting introduction to the program, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the summer!

Day 29 (8/15/19): Final Day Before Presentations

Most of today was also spent practicing and editing my presentation to make it as professional as I can. I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to present my work to faculty and friends tomorrow. Here is a link to the slides for my final presentation: Novelty Detection in Streaming Learning using Neural Networks

Day 28 (7/14/19): Presentation Dry Run

In the morning, all of us interns got the chance to practice our presentations in front of each other in the auditorium. I was pretty happy with how mine went overall but the experience was definitely valuable in identifying typos or slight adjustments that should be made. Throughout the rest of the day, I tried to implement these changes and clean up a few plots that I want to include for Friday.
