Pickleball Analytics

Our project is to aid in the development of a pickleball analytics platform by improving ball detection and tracking. The baseline model used is a TrackNetV2 (Sun et. al. 2020) model trained on badminton, and the purpose of this project is to adapt the model by using transfer learning techniques to improve its performance in pickleball.

Mitigating Class Imbalance by Generating Synthetic Coughs Using WaveGAN

Virufy has created machine learning models that analyze coughs in order to provide a COVID-19 diagnosis. Training these models requires an even balance between COVID-positive and COVID-negative data, but they unfortunately have very little positive data. In order to combat this issue, the team hoped to generate synthetic coughs that closely resemble real coughs.
