Week 3/30/14-4/7/14

This week, I presented our paper at the YSU Quest forum for student research. It was very well received and the audience seemed very interested in the topic. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to present and got some good feedback. Some interesting question were posed at the end of the presentation. Since we had very good results, we did not look too closely at the very few negative cases (non duplicates) that were mislabeled as duplicates. One audience member asked what happened in these small number of cases. I intend to look into this more closely to find the source of the problem to improve our system. Another audience member, who often writes bug reports himself, asked if we had any issues with profanity in the reports we studied (since he is not often happy when he is writing his reports). This seems like an interesting thing to look into (although we did not encounter any problems from it in our tests).

I also presented our project from a more mathematical stand point at the Ohio MAA sectional meeting. I talked about the different Metric preserving functions that were essential to make some of our machine learning algorithms that cluster data (K-nearest neighbors) a logical choice. The audience here was curious about the datasets that we used. One audience member suggested that we also try out our system on some proprietary software, to see if our excellent results still hold.
