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…

My second week in here wasn’t very different than Read more…
