Week 4

Week 4 (July 10th - July 14th)

July 10th:
I’ve been working on getting all the portraits of the athletes and actors in line and making sure the pictures are clear and visible. I had to comb through the already downloaded datasets and ensure this. Due to this, I had to change out some pictures because they where blurry, had someone else in it, or did not feel like a portrait. After this, I started with athletes and turned their demographics into a table in a text file. Here is the table I made today for athletes:

| FileName | Name               | Sport        | Gender
0 0.jpg John Elway Football Man
1 1.jpg Serena Williams Tennis Woman
2 2.jpg Charles Barkley Basketball Man
3 3.jpg Emma Raducanu Tennis Woman
4 4.jpg Alexi Lalas Soccer Man
5 5.jpg Steven Gerrard Soccer Man
6 6.jpg George Best Soccer Man
7 7.jpg Yao Ming Basketball Man
8 8.jpg Michael Schumacher Racing Man
9 9.jpg Randy Couture Martial Arts Man
10 10.jpg Shaun White Snowboarding Man

Here are a couple of lines from the table so that you can understand the format. From the table you can see that I included the number in the dataset, name of the file in the dataset, name, sport, and gender. This table is slightly different from the ones I created last year for politicians as those included political affiliation.

| FileName | Name                 | Film                                            | Gender
0 0.jpg Meryl Streep Out of Africa Woman
1 1.jpg Denzel Washington Fences Man
2 2.jpg Leonardo DiCaprio Inception Man
3 3.jpg Viola Davis Fences Woman
4 4.jpg Tom Hardy Inception Man
5 5.jpg Frances McDormand Fargo Woman
6 6.jpg Joaquin Phoenix Walk the Line Man
7 7.jpg Amy Adams Arrival Woman
8 8.jpg Jake Gyllenhaal Nightcrawler Man
9 9.jpg Oscar Isaac Ex Machina Man
10 10.jpg Ryan Gosling Blue Valentine Man

July 13th:

That day my REU friends and I went to a Giants game. It was extremely fun and there were fireworks afterward. The best part about DREU if you intern in a state you aren’t from is that you get to explore. Moreover, it is the best experience I could ask for which is why I decided to go back for a second Summer in a row.

TO-DO FOR NEXT WEEK

  1. Finish Demographics for athletes
  2. Begin running the Base tests on your new images from the Dataset
