Fourier_Transforms_Image_Processing
This is an assignment for CMPE 457. The purpose of this assignment was to practically apply our knowledge of Fourier Transforms to perform convolutions and remove noise for images using OpenGL. This was achieved by implementing the math behind Fourier Transformations and applying them with filters to the images. Credit for this assignment and base code is to James Stewart, http://watkins.cs.queensu.ca/~jstewart/457/.
Simpson_Neural_Network
This is the final project for CMPE 452. The purpose of this project was to demonstrate our understanding of neural networks and genetic algorithms by applying them in a practical problem. The challenge the team chose to undertake was to predict which Simpons character was being shown to the neural network.
FacebookVR
Created an application to demonstrate my teams understanding of human computer interaction. The task was to create a Facebook VR experience that had basic functionality.
LZW_Image_Compression
This is an assignment for CMPE 457. The purpose of this assignment was to compress and restore an image. This was achieved by implementing LZW image compression with predictive encoding to both encode and decode the image.
Predictive_Dating
This is the final project for CISC 333. The purpose of this project was to demonstrate our knowledge of data mining and it's applications in a final, practical project. We were tasked with creating the most accurate model possible for determining if two individuals would match with each other in speed dating. The process used in creating the model, the challenges faced, the final product, and the results can be found in the project report. I have also included the KNIME node structure in the repository.
Real_Estate_Transactions
This is a model used for predicting if a house will sell for a high price or a low price. This was done to see what attributes would correlate the strongest and how accurate it can be.
Titanic_Basic_Analysis
This is an introductory assignment for CISC 333. The primary task for this assignment was familiarizing myself with the KNIME software and it's various tools by looking at data collected from the Titanic disaster.
Titanic_In_Depth_Analysis
This is the last assignment for CISC 333. The purpose of this assignment was to integrate the last of the course material into the Titanic prediction model. The task was to try and determine the best prediction model for the data set.
Titanic_Name_Analysis
This is the second assignment for CISC 333. The purpose of this assignment was to further develop my understanding of KNIME and start implementing the course material. The task was to try and determine if a persons title correlated to them surviving the Titanic disaster.
Titanic_Normalization_Discretization
This is the third assignment for CISC 333. The purpose of this assignment was to implement normalization and discretization into the analysis. The task was to see how normalizing and discretizing the data would effect the accuracy of the prediction model.
