Joe's Progress Report 12/2/07

This week I coded the learning component of our project, integrated it with the parser, and met with Zhe to make sure that the matching algorithm will properly integrate with the learning component.

I noticed a bug in the parser which prevents it from working properly. Over the next week I plan to make sure that this bug is fixed, and to test the learning component with actual data.

Nathan - 12/2

Finalized linear regression by throwing away all the code and doing it in Matlab. Compared results against commercial software and they matched; a success in less than an hour's time.

Progress Report Zhe Chen 11-30-07

Had some problems with google account over the break, finally fixed it.
-Wrote C++ implementations of Matrix Multiplication and Matrix Transpose, along with a few useful Matrix related functions.
-Tested the algorithms with R generated matrixes
-Wrote Normalization algorithm for normalizing data before sending it to the Linear Regression Algorithm

Joe's Progress Report 11/26/07

This past week I created a new learning algorithm document which incorporated criticisms regarding the last one. I also updated the Makefile so that it will automatically compile the code required for the parser in addition to the code required for the matching algorithm. Over the coming week I plan to code the learning algorithm and integrate it with the matching algorithm and the parser.

Massive Update - Mo

Ok, A massive update was enacted earlier this week. The Wiki will be fully updated when we return on Tuesday, as I will need to make sure all the documentation is properly accessible on the Wiki, and Bin and I are going back and archiving a lot of information that was lost in the crash.

A large amount of documentation has been sent out to all of you, including an Excel sheet which constitutes our Gantt Chart.

Please read over the documentation and submit edits in the format I requested in the e-mail. Please DO NOT use MSFT Word's show edits feature as it is extremely difficult to use when multiple people edit a document.

DotProject is fully running now. DotProject is a collaborative software tool used mainly by LARGE-scale software project production, etc. Nevertheless I think it is a useful tool and hope it proves thus.

I have linked it off the Wiki: 160.39.129.104/dotproject

Your Login is your UNI, and the passwords are the same as the Wiki.

Professors and Lance, your login is "faculty" with the passwords also the same.

The software tracks dependencies, and notes progress and the interdependence of projects with each other.

Already some comments have been made on the Gantt Chart, and I will update it as necessary on Monday (I can't access my machine right now).

Testing is about to commence, and I will discuss with Mitchell a human playtest on 30November (Friday).

In addition I have been monitoring communication concerning the Linear Regression programming, and Bin and Zhe were able to test the matrix multiplication element.

Nathan Reports that his element is complete and requires a holistics check.

Bin and Calvin I will hold both of you to this task, as everyone else is very busy at the moment, and you're both intimately familiar with the regression and what it should do.

Calvin - I would also like a situation report concerning TrueSkill, given your recent revelation - that project is of extremely high priority.

Joe reports LA development is underway.

Rajesh, Ian and myself are a bit behind on the QC Module discussion, and will be meeting Monday or Tuesday latest for hopefully the last discussion - Zhe will then be tasked with coding it, as was discussed.

I hope you all have a good weekend, and as usual I sleep only every 2 days... so call me at ANY time with questions, concerns, etc.

Solo en muerte hace el fin de deber.

Nathan 11/19

Matrix class is completed. Linear Regression algorithm part1 is at testing phase to verify correctness.

Bin's Progress Report- 11/19

1- Set up a meeting on Wednesday (11/14/07) to prepare for the meeting on Friday. Redistributed assignments based on severity to get certain objectives completed. EX- added coding of Linear Regression as a top priority to get our system functional. Discussed briefly on the AI system.

2- Stayed the entire 13 hour long meeting on Friday (11/16/07) starting at 2pm till Saturday(11/17/07) 3am.
