Hi! I am John Sholeen. I am a Junior studying petroleum engineering here at OU. I chose petroleum engineering because I wanted to work offshore. This summer I will be working as a drilling intern in the Gulf of Mexico. Although my classes were engaging last semester, I was more interested in the machine learning research I was doing. Last semester I attempted to create and train a convolution neural network to accurately segment images. I was moderately successful in my attempt. The network I trained was able to accurately segment images from the training set, but it struggled when presented with new images. Overall it was a good first step, and I am excited to continue this semester. Over the break I watched the first season of Counterpart , a Starz show starring J. K. Simmons. The dark atmosphere of the show engrossed me in the story and I couldn't stop watching. The way the plot developed was unexpected and interesting. The choices the characters made felt real
Hi John,
ReplyDeleteI have read similar articles throughout my time here at OU. I have used this 'addiction to stress and productivity' many times to complete assignments and papers at the last minute, but in this class, I realized that my writing and work comes out boring and plain when I do that.
