Hi all!  This week has been a busy one for me, the semester is in full swing, and all the assignments are rolling in! I was able to meet with Josh today in the lab at PC. What a cool place! It was great to see all resources available and especially to meet such wonderful people! Josh and I discussed the program and expectations as well as set a schedule for research and decided on a research project together!  I am super excited to learn about the world of machine learning and all the capabilities that come with it! I am going to be working on inputting different sounds from my two dogs, as well as other noises, into a teachable machine with the goal of the machine being able to distinguish and interpret between different dogs and why they are making the sounds.  This could be useful in many scenarios, but one that came to mind was when I am out of town, a person caring for my pups would be able to know what they need or want! Can't wait to see how this project develops!
