Week 7 - Implementing Inference on federated learning, drafting poster and making presentation slides ahead of ARC Forum meetings

Highlights

  • This week, I started to run inference on federated learning to have a visual output of what the results of the model predictions are meant to look like.
  • Model prediction was not as accurate and distinct as it was expected to. This is because the model took a turn and exploded the general weights of the global model hence leading to it producing just the background image. This is not really ideal for the presentation next Tuesday but I will run it again with more epochs, implement a weight balancing technique and then re run it, hopefully producing better segmentation of eye images
  • Started making the draft presentation slides and showed them to Miguel, Ruaridh and Zakaria during our group project meetings and 1:1s to receive any feedback prior the presentation.
  • Recieved some really good feedback and it was encouraged that Mo and I present together as we worked on the same project and used each other’s code hand to hand. It also showed effective collaboration and a proper timeline on how everything went down for the past eight weeks which is really good for presenting

Next Week’s Plan

  • Presenting the project output in the ARC Forum meetings
  • Clean code, fix merge conflicts with Mo and submit to main branch one last time
  • Continue making the poster ahead of the celebration event based off result output
  • Final 1:1s, group meetings, and retrospective meetings
  • Clear laptop and hand in to David’s desk
  • Have a mock presentation with Ruaridh, Zakaria and Miguel and recieve more feedback
