This week at ISM, I expanded my knowledge on modelling data and statistics through experiences by taking a dataset from Kaggle and conducting an analysis on it. Following my last visit with Mr. Campbell, I realized the importance of preprocessing data for machine learning modelling prior to feeding it into a reinforcement or deep learning...
This week at ISM, I continued to research and implement the notebooks that me and Mr. Campbell discussed last week. Specifically, we focused on Juypter Notebooks, a very popular notebook software among many people in the AI community. Ultimately, most of the notebook softwares work very similarly and provide an integrated visual and coding...
This week at ISM, I continued the planning phase of my final product on the basis of creating a model to predict insurance claims. During my meeting with Mr. Cambpell, we established a plan to initiate the creation of a model for the insurance algorithm. The first step to the process was finding and modelling the data necessary to train...
This week, I began the research phase of my final product planning process. In order to begin this process, I wanted to extend my scope beyond the reach of simple insurance policies and processes. My mentor astutely pointed out that risk management and construction of feasible business models is not unique to the insurance industry. From banking in...
This week, I began to outline a timeline for the development and implementation of my final product. I began to build on the ideas that I had explored last year. Namely, I was interested in the application of AI in both insurance and the biomedical industry. One of the most manual, time-consuming, and expensive aspects of the biomedical industry is...
As the final product timeline approaches, I am continuing to explore new avenues to expand my knowledge and experience in the field of artificial intelligence. As I continue to conduct personal research and look at the work that Toyota has done in artificial intelligence, the tangible benefits and products related to artificial intelligence seem to...
As I settled into the new year, I was able to meet with my mentor to discuss the first phase of final product planning. Throughout my time with him, I was able to discuss my learning and accomplishments regarding my original work and additional side work prior to the holiday break. Using this information and a personal reflection on what...
This week at ISM, the holiday season just finished and 2021 has just begun. I am excited to begin my second semester of work as I design and propose my final product for the year. I am going to begin my work with my mentor at Toyota soon and am excited to see what feedback and advice he has to...
This weekend marked the finale of the Original Work journey that I started back in October. Using the principles I had learned through the extensive research and application of AI online, I culminated my findings into creating a legitimate and applicable artificial intelligence of my own. My original work sought to address the problem of...
This week was incredibly exciting for me as I found a mentor within the AI field. He is a chief architect at Toyota Financial Services who works on technology integration into practical application. I really enjoyed his perspectives on making AI accessible and practical beyond the research environment, and I am certain that he will offer advice...
