Last week of November

This past week, I continued working on the tensorflow program. One of my group members was again trying to download Tensorflow onto our raspberry pi and it froze. We were not able to reboot it, so he said he would get a new SD card for us to try again. Our hardware issues have been the most difficult part so far. I did some research to see if it would be possible to download tensorflow onto my computer until we could get the raspberry pi working but I ran into similar issues. First, I had to download python onto my computer. I was trying to update python to make sure everything would work, but the I was confused about how to update the python pip or what that would mean, and they huge warnings of what could go wrong if I do this incorrectly. I also was unable to download tensorflow without those updates. We are meeting up tomorrow to work more on the raspberry pi, but if we are unable to get it working I will do more work to try to get it on my laptop. In the tutorial to install, it warns that if i update the system pip instead of just the python pip it could cause problems. Since I am not familiar with python I spent a lot of time reviewing the correct way to download that way if it comes to me having to use my laptop, i won't end up causing any issues to my laptop on accident. I am pretty confident in the model I am going to use for our program when it gets running, I spent time working on the premade models and making changes I felt we would use. The only downside is I do not know how it will end up until we get tensorflow up and running. I have become grateful that I do not have to go through this process everytime I try to download something. I also studied more python programming techniques.

Week One

My name is Monica Sanchez and I am a computer science major at GCC. For my project, I have decided to code a small game to improve my coding skills and help me become more comfortable with coding in general. This week I started my research on game development. I learned that most games are coded in C++, but since I am a beginner with coding and I only know basic Java, I decided to focus my research on 2D game development with Java. I found various tutorials that teach basic movements and creating a basic layout. I also learned that Android has an IDE called Android Studio that helps create android apps. I feel that as a beginner my best plan would be to use Android Studio and the various tutorials they have to create my first app. Over the weeks, I will add different aspects that I learn in the tutorials to my app. This week, I went over the basic tutorials to become more comfortable with Android Studio and create a simple layout and home screen. I originally wanted to create a game wi...

Tensorflow

I have continued with the lessons on Python this week and I also watched a few videos on Tensorflow. I learned that tensorflow can do other things besides image recognition. The program can also identify letters and other symbols. This aspect of Tensorflow means that it can be used to create a translator that translates words in a picture. I would like to explore this aspect of tensorflow as well, I am thinking that our next objective with this group will be to create a translator. Unfortunately, we are still having issues with the hardware. I have not worked with hardware as much, and I am more focused on the software, but by trying to fix the issues we are having, I am starting to learn a lot on the hardware side.

Group Work

Our group met with Dr. Frisby yesterday, and now that we have done some research on tensorflow, we are going to start building an image recognizing program. One group member is working to get our hardware working, then we will all work together to train our program to recognize software. I am hoping to begin writing some code, but we will have to wait for the hardware to work to start training our program by submitting correct images and incorrect images. I am very excited for our project.
