Agenda Item 1: Discussion on project topic
Prior to the meeting, we have agreed on reading the different challenges from VAST Challenge 2024 so that we can each choose our preference.
We disagreed on the challenge to do as Fengji prefers MC1, while Kristine prefers MC3.
We have a headstart with MC1 as techniques for Text Data Analysis were already covered in class.
However, Kristine raised the issue of lack of knowledge in how to identify bias in the text data.
We also talked about the gap in what the different challenges require vs our own knowledge, e.g., how to detect bias, anomalies in geographic data.
Agenda Item 2: Action Items
We were not able to decide on the topic on this meeting and decided to reconvene during the next class (18/05).
Read on the challenges again and research on the knowledge gaps we discovered.
Project Meeting 2
Date: 18/05/2024
Time: 2:15 - 2:25 PM
In Attendance: Kristine Joy Paas, Tan Fengji
Agenda Items
- Decide on project topic
- Division of tasks for Project Proposal.
Agenda Item 1: Decide on project topic
- We agreed to go with MC3. We think that this is the challenge we can accomplish with our own knowledge and those taught in class.
Agenda Item 2: Division of tasks for Project Proposal
We looked at the seniors’ work so that we can base on our Project Proposal on from those.
We divided the work for the proposal as follows:
Fengji: Motivation, Objectives, Problem Statement, Project Schedule
Kristine: Data, Methodology, Github and Netlify setup
Shared: Project Sketches, R Package list
Furthermore, for Take-home Ex3, we decided on the following:
Fengji: Questions 1 & 2
Kristine: Questions 3 & 4
If we have enough time, we will do 1 more question so that we can compare notes on the overlapping question.
Project Meeting 3
Date: 22/05/2024
Time: 4:30 - 5:00 PM
In Attendance: Kristine Joy Paas, Tan Fengji
Agenda Items
- Proposal Check-in
- Action Items
Agenda Item 1: Proposal Check-in
It was only a few days before the proposal is due so we checked on each other’s progress.
- We both have our parts ready by EoD.
Kristine updated that she won’t be available on Sunday (when the proposal is due).
We decided to drop the Problem Statement part as it is redundant with the Objectives.
We also decided for Prototype Sketches to be optional as we are not familiar how it will look in the Shiny app. Alternative is to just provide sketches based on normal visualizations.
Our main blocker in creating the proposal is the lack of details that we cannot uncover unless we start doing the project.
Agenda Item 2: Action Items
Push our work on the Project Proposal to Github so that we can check each other’s work.
Fengji to take care of submission on Sunday as Kristine will be out.
Project Meeting 4
Date: 22/06/2024
Time: 9:00 - 9:30 PM
In Attendance: Kristine Joy Paas, Tan Fengji
Agenda Items
- Project Check-in
- Task Prioritization
Agenda Item 1: Project Check-in
We have only been communicating by Teams in the last month as we focused on Take-Home Exam 3.
After that, we independently studied how to convert our Take Home Exam 3 outputs to Shiny App.
- We had more pressing deadlines in other modules so we agreed to prioritize those first.
Agenda Item 2: Task Prioritization
The items we still need to do for the project are:
Project Site
Add prototype sketches
Add details on methodology
Polish content
Poster
Shiny App
- Combine our work
We decided to prioritize combining our Shiny Apps as we need the screenshots for the poster.
Same with the Project Site, we will use Joy’s Github to collaborate on the Shiny App
Submitting the poster on Wednesday, June 26 is the highest priority
Meet again on June 25 evening to finalize the poster.
