Kristin Bennett
08.2024 - Current
- Participated actively in regular meetings with fellow researchers to discuss project updates, challenges faced, and lessons learned during ongoing activities.
- Organized research materials, maintaining a well-ordered workspace conducive to productivity.
- The objective of our final project is to evaluate the performance of different classification and feature selection methods using the chemsRUs dataset. The chemsRUs dataset is a comprehensive collection of chemical compounds and their associated properties.
- This dataset is commonly used for predictive modeling in the field of cheminformatics, where the goal is to predict the biological activity of compounds based on their chemical properties. The dataset includes features such as molecular weight, chemical structure descriptors, and various physicochemical properties.our agenda for the final project is to choose two different classification method and two feature selection method, then, based on the dataset of chemsRUs project, get the feature balanced accuracy when using classification method fit with all feature selection and classification method fit with the feature selection I choosed.
- . Furthermore, compare the balanced accuracy of different combination, and make plot which clearly show the different accuracy different classification method provide. Finally, plot the importance of different feature selection using different feature selection method, which help us to understand which selection contribute the most in all feature selection method.

- Gained valuable experience working within a specific industry, applying learned concepts directly into relevant work situations.
- Supported staff members in their daily tasks, reducing workload burden and allowing for increased focus on higher-priority assignments.
- Sorted and organized files, spreadsheets, and reports.
- I am primarily responsible for the development and optimization of gesture recognition software. My duties include writing gesture recognition algorithms using PyTorch, setting up databases and importing gesture data, as well as using Matplotlib and Tkinter to build user interfaces. Specifically, I am involved in all stages of the project, from the initial requirement analysis and design, through the mid-phase coding and testing, to the final optimization and deployment.
- During the requirement analysis phase, I worked with the team to discuss and clarify the functional and technical requirements of the gesture recognition software. In the design phase, I was responsible for designing the architecture and implementation plan for the data loader (dataloader) to ensure efficient data reading and processing. In the coding phase, I wrote the gesture recognition model using PyTorch and implemented code related to data augmentation and model training. During the testing phase, I wrote test cases and conducted comprehensive functional and performance testing of the gesture recognition software.
- My notable contributions include optimizing the data loader (dataloader), which improved training efficiency, and resolving errors encountered when importing new PyTorch libraries, ensuring the software's stability and efficiency. Additionally, I participated in writing project documentation and conducting user training, contributing to the successful delivery of the project.

- Prepared detailed reports summarizing research findings and recommendations for further action.
- Conducted in-depth qualitative and quantitative research to identify trends and generate insights.
- I collected a large amount of license plate image data and performed annotation and preprocessing to ensure the quality and accuracy of the data.
- Based on the project requirements, I selected an appropriate deep learning model and trained it using TensorFlow and Keras frameworks. During training, I fine-tuned the model parameters to improve recognition accuracy.
- I integrated the trained model into the overall system and conducted multiple tests and optimizations to ensure that the system could accurately recognize license plate numbers.
- I provided a detailed description of the technical implementation of the license plate recognition system, including data processing, model selection, and the training process.
- I analyzed and summarized the recognition results of the system, highlighted its strengths and weaknesses, and proposed suggestions for improvement.
