Day 24 – Preparing for model fine-tuning and presentation
What I Learned
Today, I finished my codebase from last week. I made 2 versions: one with Optuna and another without. Training with Optuna might take over 24 hrs, so I will train over the weekend. I also helped my labmates Ignatius and Michelle fix their code bugs and issues. Mr. Pelumi came back from Canada, and we met him in the morning. I showed him my accomplishments from the past few days, and he was really impressed with my work. Although my current results look perfect, they seem too good to be true.
I then worked on further optimizing the Optuna framework; I applied pruning to the codebase, and I will know the results once I start training. Additionally, I worked on the mid-summer presentation slides and the weekly presentation slides and video.

Reflection
Today went well. I finally finished my codebase. Now, the only things left to do are to make a few changes to the ensemble model layer and run the bayesian optimization (hyperparameter tuning). These tasks are simple but time-consuming. Over the weekend, I will resume working on the mid-summer presentation slides and the presentation itself.
