- SOAR Position: Member
- Major: Computer Science
- Faculty Mentor(s): Dr. Hongbo Zhang
Current Focus: Efficiency of YOLOv8 Classification Model
Additional Interests: I’m into data analysis, robotics**, artificial intelligence, biology, environmental studies, etc.!
Project Description
Using video data received from one of Dr. Zhang’s drone flight classes. I along with a partner label the videos for different categories: flight, crash, landing, etc. and then train the YOLOv8 classification model using our given dataset. Afterwards, I will see if the model was sufficient in sorting new a new dataset into its appropriate categories.Why does this topic interest you?
I’ve always been interested in artificial intelligence and find it quite fascinating how a computer can be trained to automate processes.What are your professional aspirations?
I enjoy research, but I believe I’d also enjoy analyzing data, creating programs, debugging, etc! I quite enjoy the puzzle that comes with creating programs and debugging.Do you have any advice for future researchers?
Chat with your professors!!!
