Crone Progress Report, 11/17

- Finished Variable Documentation
- Developed "Derived" Variables that might be more useful in matching than raw data, i.e. Reload Rate = (Reloads per round/Total number of shots in that round) rather than just the raw reload value.

Joe's Weekly Report 11/17/07

This week I rewrote the computation portion of the parser using Java. I worked with Rajesh and Calvin to make sure that the data exported by the parser is compatible with their requirements. I also wrote and presented a document for a proposed learning algorithm based on creating a neural network.

Over the next week, I plan to revise my parser code so that it will work well across platforms, and to create better documentation.


I also plan to revise my AI proposal based on the following criticisms:

Rajesh & Calvin: It's too impractical.

Jonathan: It's too generic.

Zhe Chen - 11/16/07

-Discussed with Calvin and Nathan on implementing Linear Regression, Covariance Matrix, and Data Normalization.
-Updated Teambuilder code to take dynamic player team sizes.

Nathan - Plugin 11/16

Blogspot wouldn't let me join the blog earlier during the week, which is the reason for the delay.

From 11/10, on the Wiki:

Successfully made the plugin dynamic in regards to the number of players, though there is still a hard cap at 5v5.

Successfully solved bugs related to memory crashes in attempting to count how often they have a particular gun out. Useful from a tendency point of view and skill point of view, as players run more quickly with a pistol,scout, or knife out.

Team in output should now work, geospatial errors in regards to player distance when hit/hitting should now be fixed.

11/16

Increased hard cap to 10v10.

Added handling of flashbangs and smokegrenades.

Solved an issue with the dedicated server and bots. They were joining twice according to the plugin, and that needed to be handled.

Output wasn't outputting properly (at all) for unknown reasons; had to modify the procedure to output the data after every round

Fixed problems related to uninitialized variables.

Sat with Calvin to discuss programming the linear regression to be run on data. Necessary functions have been covered, Zhe and I will be programming these functions by Sunday, then combining them to complete the algorithm by next week.

Calvin's Progress Report

I finished the report about linear regression design. Inside the report contains details about theory and facts about the design for finding the "good" secondary factors.

Bin's progress report

1- wrote graphical document explaining how our algorithm works

2-organized all meetings; entire group meetings and smaller group meetings.

3-some people in the group don't think on the same wavelength of what the project is suppose to look like or don't understand how specific aspects of the project works; so I set up meetings with a few team members to untangle inter-team confusion . example- made sure each member knew the difference between primary factors and secondary factors; clarified the AI module is different from linear regression analysis.

4- spent 30 straight hours with almost everyone in the group to make sure everyone was operating without conflicts.

5-took notes and minutes during meetings.

Progress Report

This past week I edited the Perl scripts for interacting with Nathan's plugin to be compatible with the revised data format.

This coming week, I plan to create up-to-date documentation for the scripts I've written, and create documentation for a proposed learning system. I also plan to come up with possible ways of using the other group to verify/refute the hypotheses we have created.

Ian's Progress Report, 11/11

1. Variable Document

I have continued to work on the variable explanation document, which will be ready for Friday's meeting.

2. Web Stuff

Installed first phpCollab and then dotproject for coordination purposes on the group site. Built a package of files as a backup for all of the group's work so far and to allow all group members to conduct testing.

3. QC Module

Met with Rajesh and Mo today to hammer out details of functionality of QC module, began to develop documentation on it. Asked Nathan to add 2 additional variables to the plugin, which he says is possible.

4. Additional documentation

Met with Jon to edit/revise presentation document.
