Finally, Results!

Nothing trumps that feeling of seeing the results you so desire to see appear on screen. As the end of my internship period was approaching the stress started piling up on me, as nothing seemed to yield the results that I was looking for. However, this changed this week, with Read more…

MLPack Experiments

As the end of my internship period was approaching, I was asked to move from feature extraction to working on the machine learning models. For the past few weeks I have been working with multiple libraries to retrieve information from musical tracks, and it was time to test what I Read more…

Tempo Detection

Unlike the past few weeks, the progress in this one was a bit bumpy and slow. The work for most of this week was based on the research done last week and a continuation of it. While a certain amount of time was spent writing and implementing code, the biggest Read more…

The Other Side of Learning

Time runs faster in Aeste, between learning how to use new tools, reading documentation of new libraries, and the seemingly endless process of research that proceeds every step you’re taking in a project, it’s often hard to catch up with time. My second week in here wasn’t very different than Read more…

First week at Aeste

I had expected plenty to go wrong on my first week; felt under prepared and built a hundred scenarios of how it might go wrong. However, it was quite the opposite, the place was very warm and welcoming, and I cannot recall a period in which I learned this number Read more…

Generating Infographics

To provide more value for the candidates in the competition, my task this week was to generate graphs which will be sent to them by email, that depict how well they did in relation to others. I started with using a TSV parser to pass the spreadsheet I generated earlier Read more…
