Day 22 (8/6/19): Streaming Linear Discriminant Analysis


Today I tested the previously trained models using the Stanford dogs dataset as the inter dataset evaluator for OOD instead of the Oxford flowers dataset. However, as expected, the omega values for performance were pretty much the same as before and didn't make much of a difference as the datasets varied. 

I also implemented a streaming linear discriminant analysis model (SLDA) which differed from the previous incrementally trained models. This model didn't perform as well in terms of accuracy however as only the last layer of the model was trained and streaming is more of a difficult task. Nevertheless, we did show that Mahalanobis can be used in a streaming paradigm to recover some OOD performance in an online setting. This is likely to be a large focus of my presentation as it has never been discussed prior.


Tomorrow, I plan to implement an L2SP model with elastic weight consolidation as well as iCarl to serve as two more baselines to compare our experiments to.

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.
