Day 17 (7/30/19): Adding Bounding Boxes in Experiments

Today was very successful as we finally were able to finish debugging the script we were using for training our experiment models. Previously, I was seeing the loss function diverge to nan during the second batch and the problem was actually that I was forgetting to shuffle the data with each new batch. After cleaning up much of the script, I was able to organize the code to be more general purpose for future experiments.


I ran the new code to train an offline so i could generate some baseline numbers to use for omega values for the experiments. However, I am still adjusting a few hyperparameters (namely the patience counter for early stopping to prevent overfitting) to see what will yield the highest offline accuracy with bounding boxes implemented.


The full rehearsal model was fairly simple to implement after the offline model trained so I plan to start evaluating Mahalanobis OOD and more complex models tomorrow.

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.
