WEEK 36 + 37

Project: Shiny App

Started on: Feb 26, 2023

Ended on: Mar 4, 2023

Staff Guidance: Stacy

Description: 

• Simply put: the slider works perfectly after I put the whole map with slider into a temporary HTML file.
• The server is created and hosted with deployment and production site. https://cliomaps.development.la.utexas.edu/
• If the server does not work, use this instead: https://clioviz.shinyapps.io/Cliomaps_2024_02_27/.
• The server site only works if you are on campus. The client loves it.
• Use this CSV file for testing out the app: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BrianTruong23/amazon_predicting_project/master/Voyages_2024_01_24.csv

 

 

Project: Shiny App (Part 2)

Started on: Mar 4, 2023

Ended on: Mar 7, 2023

Staff Guidance: Stacy

Description: 

• The client wants a new map to be hosted and developed in shiny app.
• The process is very similar to the previous project when I need to display a fully functional map with sliders and zoom working properly.
• Therefore, applying what I know from before, I can generate a temporary HTML file and display that on the website
• Also, I just finished the functionality of downloading the map.

 

Project: Whisper AI

Started on:  Feb 19, 2023

Ended on:  Mar 4, 2023

Staff Guidance: Chris

Description: Finish the evaluation for Whisper AI 

Whisper AI 

• The Whisper AI converts the audio file into a spectrogram to analyze and predict the corresponding text captions.
• It takes a 30 second chunk of input, converts it into a log-Model spectrogram, analyzes the image and applies encoding-decoding architecture to predict the text caption based on those images. 

Some key insights: 

• Lower HST produces much cleaner version of text (not including filter words as much as higher HST (from 0.2 to 0.5)) 
• There are some variation of inference ability of each time: eg. truth work done instead of tooth work done. Therefore, a lot of words are predicted differently 
• Even with the same threshold, there is variation in running the models from time to time. 
• A lot of models do not capture the first intro sentence from the lady. 
• 1.3 is the fastest and 0.1 is the slowest -> Might suggest that as the parameter increases, the time it takes is faster -> It means it does not need to re-process so many times. With 0.1, it means that it re-process every 0.1 sec after silence is detected -> suggesting more time to process

Pre-Course Video Approval!

This week has been pretty eventful! I can’t wait to show off one of the approved drafts of the Pre-course video, I’m really happy with how it came out. I’ve also been assigned to work on an upcoming project that has a high involvement with illustration and comics!

Pre-Course Video

It is done! Well, as of now it’s done. The video went through many notes from the original animatic. Luckily, with the workflow from Illustrator to After Effects, making edits was relativley painless, but my file organization became pretty messy.

Here’s the approved draft!

I’m still surprised I was able to make this. It was very out of my comfort zone but I had fun with it!

I’m especially really happy with the segments that portray the studio more accurately. They’re just really cute to look at. The map segment was a part that took a little more planning and notes since it was a little hard to figure how to make the class exits clear and also engaging. With the help of my supervisor, we were able to figure out the scene.

I’m so glad it has a finalized look that can hopefully be shown to students.

 

STA Roster Poster Spring 2024

I started working on this new version, the goal being to have the STAs more as the center piece rather than other objects:

Then we changed direction entirely! The new idea is to make STAs look like they’re on pins/stickers from a carnival/event. Here is what I’ve been working on so far:

     impediments :

• • • • • when testing audio playback in Canvas' video stream, B-Stack3 :
          

          • omits volume control functionality for mobile browser testing and
            defaults all of its cloud-linked devices to a standard listening volume

            for Samsung devices via its web browsers

Summer Marketing

Client: LAITS
Staff Guidance: De’sha

Speedway Banner: FINAL! I can’t wait to see this hanging above Speeday by Gregory Gym in April. Creating this banner was a fun experience because Summer Marketing has never had a banner as a marketing asset, so I had some creative freedom in the overall design–although we did connect it back to the postcard/digital display imagery so the summer campaign appears cohesive.

11×17:

• • • reduction in bottom disclaimer text
    • URL changed to white
    • courses offered changed/removed

Digital displays:

• • • replaced the $500 sticker to match the Spring Postcard
    • right-aligned “TX Residents”
    • still need to decide whether to keep “TX Residents” in color (relative to their color scheme) or in burnt orange.

 

 

Animated Pre-Roll:

• • • changed out courses

 

Minors PDF:

• • • change/removed courses and their respective semsters offered
