This week, we looked at further design trade studies and decided to shift from focusing on RNN’s and SVM’s to working entirely on SVM’s due to power requirements of RNN’s on a Raspberry Pi chip.
Because the SVM design doesn’t have frequency domain features such as STFT and wavelet transform, I started working on feeding and tuning the paramaters of those features into the pipeline.
As well, SVM can sometimes benefit from PCA compression at the beginning of the SVM, so I started working on implementing and tuning the PCA compression.
