Nicholas’ Status Report for February 22nd

I have finalized the ML model, so now we are moving onto setting up the training environment and getting the data downloaded onto the ECE clusters so we can train the model over Spring Break. We are using Yolov11Large, so what I did is set up a work environment on the ECE Clusters with Tensorflow. I also downloaded the data we will fine tune on. I am less familiar with Tensorflow than PyTorch, so resolving library conflicts in the virtual environment took longer than desired. Despite this set up, I was able to get everything downloaded, and I was able to load Yolov11Large onto one of the GPU’s and did a sample detection on a static image. The next steps will be to use all the components and actually fine tune the model, which I will report on next week.
