Day 13 (7/24/19): Offline and Rehearsal Model Experiments

Today I began some experiments that I hope to include in my final project presentation. The main objective as of now is to figure out which incremental learning strategies yield the best out-of-distribution  (OOD) performance. For the experiments I performed today, I trained all layers of the models in batches of 20 classes (10 batches for the 200 species in CUB200 dataset) and evaluated OOD using a baseline softmax thresholding method. The performance metrics I hope to obtain are the Omega alpha (how accurate model is compared to offline model) and Omega OOD (how accurate the model is at novelty detection compared to offline model).
*These models are currently still training so I should have the results in the morning.

During lunch I went to the seminar which discussed ASL, specifically how it was important here at RIT. I found the talk very interesting and even learned a few signs which might be useful someday.

Tomorrow I hope to continue my work on this project and expand the experiment to include more complex models using different OOD methods as well.

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.
