Re: Report 7: Machine-Learning & Fake News

One of the topics that I was interested in exploring more from this week was computer generated art. Especially after learning about DALLE2, I was interested in the fact that computers can take input in and produce art from user input, and it works. DALLE2 is still on a waitlisted program and, is of...

Re: Report 6: Vision Science & Machine Learning

One thing I was really interested in from this week was also the eye tracking studies. As mentioned in class, Alfred Yarbus was a soviet psychologist who studied eye tracking movements in the 1950s and 60s. In his book "Eye Movements and Vision", he presented the eye movement trajectories after tell...

Re: Report 5: Computational Aesthetics, Generative Art

One of the things I am most interested in exploring through this class is the increased availability of filters in social media. Similar to what Sienna was saying in her post, beauty is subjective, especially the idea of self beauty. But this idea of self beauty can be warped when constantly compari...

Re: Report 4: Volumetric data, Computational Photography

After the hands-on lab using the cameras in processing, I wanted to better explore how the X-box Kinect camera works and the applications these types of cameras bring. How the camera works is that it transmits a near-infrared light and measures the time it takes for the light to reach the camera aga...

Re: Report 3: Material / Machine-Generated Images, Data Noise

Due to the nature of this week’s topic being noise, I thought I would touch a bit on noise in machine learning models and image classification algorithms. Deep learning nowadays can be found in many applications, such as self driven cars, medical imaging, online chat support, and surveillance. As th...

Re: Report 2: The Digital Image / Image Processing

Talking about image metadata and steganography in this week’s lecture made me think about the security implications present by being able to embed data within an image. Sienna brought up a good point in her post about how since cameras capture metadata automatically, even if the photo subject is not...

Re: Report 1: Apparatus Fundamentals / Historical Examples

One of the topics I wanted to explore more was photographic manipulation and its impact on society. As photography was beginning, there was the idea of the "photograph" as "real life." The image being created was capturing a specific moment in time, exactly as it was; a "true image." But this idea o...

Re: Proj 3 - Student Defined Visualization Project

Introduction and Data Collection: For my initial idea for this project, I wanted to dive a bit deeper into my background as a Biologist and find some data in that field. Upon looking through countless databases, I stumbled upon an experiment that was intriguing to me. This experiment looked at the ...

Re: Project 2: Correlation of "Water Keywords" with Rainfall in Seattle

If one were to try and associate a city in the US with rain, Seattle would be one of the first cities that comes to mind. Concept : I wanted to look and see if the relationship between the number of checkouts related to "water" and the amount of rainfall that occurred on that day. First I did a seri...
