I'm not the most athletic person in the world. I might even go so far as to liken my lifestyle to that of a hermit. But even I am getting a little stir-crazy. I've been enjoying the extra time I have now to work on my final product, but now I am beginning to see both my motivation and energy droop. My lack of physical activity isn't really helping. As such, I am pledging to devote at least half an hour a day to physical activity in order to boost my mood and clear my mind. I actually wanted to get back into an exercise routine since before quarantine. Now's as good a time as any to start.
I have gotten quite a bit done, though. Using MatLab has been incredible - I can make neural networks with ease using the specialized tools provided. The syntax is so clearly tailored to linear algebra (and therefore machine learning) applications that it almost brings a tear to my eye when I think back to the pain I had using Tensor-flow last year. Right now, the main problem I have is data. I need to get around to normalizing the 3000 or so phishing emails my mentor provided me with so that I can actually feed it to my neural network. I plan on meeting with him later this week in order to discuss how I would go about doing that efficiently.Â
