This week, I spent the majority of my time preparing for our final project presentation. After Bella completed the slides, I focused on practicing how to deliver information about our project in a way that would be digestible for people unfamiliar with our project, with OCR, or even with ECE in general. I also spent considerable time preparing for our project proposal presentation and anticipating questions that our classmates might ask.
We were asked many helpful questions by our classmates and TAs. One that stuck with me, and our group in general, was about the automation of testing for our OCR text recognition to braille process. Given the scope and number of texts we hope to test, we realized we need to spend more time determining how to create easy, repeatable, and modular testing for various aspects of our project.
After my in-class presentation that day, I spent time researching ways to automate this testing. I believe there are some viable options involving machine learning that I am excited to explore further next week.
