Over the last few months, I’ve been working on a research project to develop personalized training tools for chess players. For this post, I’m just going to describe Maia, the framework developed last year which all of our code and models are based on. Maia Maia is a framework/model developed Read more…
Summary For this project, I analyzed methods to model the aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty of a neural network model for predicting the amount of time that a human player will use for a given move in a chess position. Dataset The dataset for these experiments comes from Lichess, an open-source Read more…
Summary For this project, I am comparing the abilities of Bayesian and non-Bayesian neural networks as a predictor for how much time a chess player will use to make their move in a certain chess position, taking into account the piece placement on the board as well as game metadata. Read more…
Problem During a chess game, players are constantly making decisions and evaluating the current state to increase their odds of winning. The process of analyzing positions is a problem that AI has already achieved superhuman performance on, and the use of these computer “engines” is essential for chess players who Read more…
My second research is coming to a close next week, and I’ve been running a lot of ML experiments so I can have interesting results for my final report. However, one of the things slowing down my iterative process was the very slow training and testing process to get results. Read more…
In my review of the paper Probabilistic forecasting of surgical case duration using machine learning: model development and validation last week, I briefly mentioned the term CRPS. Today, I’ll go into a little more detail on what CRPS actually is and discuss its implementation in Python. What is CRPS? CRPS, Read more…
My second rotation has started on Monday, and I’ve decided to work with Dr. Chenyang Lu in the area of Machine Learning for Health. During the rotation, I’m going to be working especially close with York Jiao, MD, the Director of Anesthesia at the Shriners Hospital for Children in St. Read more…
Introduction Today is the final day of my first rotation with CJ and as part of the rotation requirements, I need to write a final report. In line with some of my other assignments, I’ve decided to complete this in the form of a blog! This post will contain three Read more…
Over the last week, I’ve mainly been expanding on my work from last week, with the dataset of moves represented as differences of compressed chess board states. In my blog post last week, I generated a dataset of 10 players, and plotted the results. The first thing I did this Read more…
In my Intro to Grad Studies class, we have been given an assignment to do an in-depth paper review for each of our rotations. I already posted a general literature review summarizing a few papers related to my rotation research area, but this assignment is also requiring us to elaborate Read more…
