Today I pitched my project to Dr. Bill. As I talked about in the last weblog my project is making an app that uses machine learning to identify the japanese characters. I worked on how to upload the data to the google colab notebook that I am using. Before I was trying to upload the files invidually to the server using the files.upload() command but this proves too time consuming and I would have to redo it each time I open the notebook. Instead I connected the colab notebook to my google drive using the drive.mount() command. From there the code could properly acess the files.

Today I worked on training the katakana model. However I have alot of trouble getting the model's accurcy to imporve. I also when the model reached about the 8th epoch each time I got and error because the computer wanted to "Restoring model weights from the end of the best epoch." I am still working and resolving these errors.
weekly summary
after talking with Dr. Bill I have looking into the possibility to using this technology to teach people new to japanese how to write Japanese. I think this is totatlly possible. Another thing I was thinking of doing was having the model learn as a people new to japanese learned. Though this is something I am not sure how to do.
