This week I worked on 2 main things: making all the instructions to download all the different models and making the setup guide for the VM. I first had to make all the different docker images for both the flask app and ollama server for the different models. Since we chose 4 models, this was a total of 8 docker images I had to build and upload to docker hub. I then went ahead and replaced all the model placeholder values on our website with these models and made setup instructions for each of them.
Then I made the VM setup guide which can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h3yitViqHSCFIGRavRVXS2N8mghXY5RRwU7VamdTrG8/edit?tab=t.0 . I spent a lot of time getting this into a doc and making sure everything worked by following these instructions. I also setup TLS this week on the VM so spent a lot of time researching into how to do this. I struggled setting up the Nginx reverse proxy so that TLS works and spent lots of time on this but eventually got it working. I got it to work from a curl command on my computer but still need to make sure it works from the device using https and not http which I will do next week. After I finish this next week, I will update the guide with what steps are necessary to make sure https works from the device and update the main website with the setup guide. My progress is on schedule. Next week I will work on finishing the setup guide and finalizing the website, and also help with the user testing experiment we plan on doing.
The week before this one (when no status report was due) I worked on testing different prompts for us to use and choosing the best one.
In terms of verification, we plan to run the tests mentioned above to test that users can setup their device and vm under a certain amount of time we mention in the requirements. I also tested our prompt engineering efforts by testing many different prompts against expected results and chose the best one. So model accuracy testing is complete. We also plan on testing the latency of the whole system in the coming week or 2. I also tested that the websites were responsive and easy to use and follow by asking a group of 10 people what they thought of the website and how intuitive it is.
