Honors Projects in Data Science
The aim of the project is to create a machine learning model to predict NBA games. The purpose is to build upon and improve existing models. Research into other predictive sports models and machine learning techniques was conducted to understand what is currently being done to predict NBA games and how effective it is in doing so. After a thorough literary review, the model was created using Python and a variety of machine learning techniques. The dataset used had an array of team statistics for both the home and away team for each corresponding matchup and two supporting features were …

This project explores the use of deep learning to predict age based on pediatric hand X-Rays. Data from the Radiological Society of North America’s pediatric bone age challenge were used to train and evaluate a convolutional neural network. The project used InceptionV3, a CNN developed by Google, that was pre-trained on ImageNet, a popular online image dataset. Our fine-tuned version of InceptionV3 yielded an average error of less than 10 months between predicted and actual age. This project shows the effectiveness of deep learning in analyzing medical images and the potential for even greater improvements in the future. In addition …

Financial markets are controlled directly by a small population of people, but have direct effects on almost every aspect of the global community. Financial markets are now flooded with computerized algorithms that have drastically changed the face of trading. As with any advances in technology, there are always unforeseen events that create new challenges, and adjustments that need to be made. In our increasingly global and technological world, one wrong click of the mouse in New York could affect the stock markets in London, Tokyo, and Brazil. On May 6th, 2010, such a situation occurred and caused the Dow Jones …
