Binarizing Neural Machine Translation

  • We explore ways to reduce computation and model size for neural machine translation. With the development of binary weight networks and XNOR networks in vision, we attempt to extend that work to machine translation. In particular, we evaluate how binary convolutions can be used in machine translation and their effects.

Project

ReFresh

  • We wanted to build an incredibly simple IoT Solution for tracking perishables, so that you’d never waste food due to expiration dates again.
  • A user can scan a receipt of groceries, and ReFresh will tag and aggregate the purchased items and display them with an expiration timer
  • Users are able to take advantage of Postmates to re-order their food items as the expiration date approaches
  • ReFresh suggests recipes that use the expiring ingredients and sends text message reminders as items are nearing expiration (via Twilio)

Project

CloudBike

  • Cloudbike is a full stack data analytics platform to show users insight on their bike routes, while generating bitcoin based on the intensity of their exercise.
  • Components included an arduino board hooked onto the bike giving data about it such as RPM, Microsoft Band giving Heart Rate, Android giving geolocation along with speed, collecting all the data, and sending everything to the web server. The web server process and store the data, for the web app to pull from. The web app visualizes all the data collected
