Over this past week, most of my energy was put into finishing up the Proposal presentation as well as beginning work on the Design Review presentation. For the Proposal, I created most of our use-case requirements and helped with further defining the use case, solution approach, solution justification, and material decisions for the software component of our project. Additionally, Dina and I helped Sam feel fully prepared to give the presentation. For the Design Review, I created a document to help outline what we need to include. I completed the Introduction and worked a great deal on the System Implementation on the software side. I researched the proper way to have input validation on our web application. I also looked into different machine learning Python packages we can use and found that sklearn gives us a number of options. In addition, I researched how to successfully have an ML model within a Django backend and found a guide for deploying ML models with Django that will become immensely useful later on. Finally, I decided on the design for our backend Django database.
My progress is currently on schedule. Since we have decided that I will be giving the Design Review presentation, my focus next week will mainly be on making sure I am fully prepared to present. I will continue to work on the Design Review paper but put most of my effort into the slides and notes for when I present.
