• Did code analysis on basic audio input/output demo to reduce latency. 
• Designed time sync infrastructure to accurately measure the time taken by our program to detect input once the user has started speaking.  
• Designed block diagrams for various components, figured out a general flow for the presentation.

• Did code analysis on basic audio IO demo from last week to identify ways to decrease latency from hearing sound to responding
• Did analysis on query waveforms to figure out best opportunities based on volume to have program recognize a query has started
• Set up Alexa and Google Home for testing (1 hour with computing services got nowhere. I learned later that Google Home can’t be set up with G Suite and no one said otherwise)

• Because I am presenting this week for design review, I focused on the design presentation slides and presentation preparation. 
• I spent my time thinking about the overall narrative for the design presentation as well as making block diagrams for various components.
• I also did preliminary investigation into what NLP system & potential filter designs we would want to use for some optimizations to try.

Last week, Cyrus delivered a presentation about our design proposal. A link is provided here. Check it out!
