PeNNdulum
A Comparison of Neural Networks on the Double Pendulum System (GITHUB) *This project was done for CS152 with Ziang, Guy, and Nathan Link to website detailing full project report: PeNNdulum Lagrangian neural networks (LNN) output the Lagrangian for a system in motion. The Lagrangian characterizes the total energy in the system, and is a useful…

About
The coming-of-age story is a classic archetype that typically features a clearly defined emotional arc for the protagonist. However, can we pick up on this pattern through some natural language processing and neural network techniques? In this project, we use emotional analysis with BERT to try and discern a clear emotional arc for the protagonist…

About
I am creating a guidebook for a set of nice granite boulders sitting on the Mount Baldy hillsides that are around 20 minutes from the Claremont College. Currently, I have documented over 100 boulder problems, with directions, pictures, and video beta included for a good hunk of them. The guidebook can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X872VAX5ORIFtau0HsmZx5Gbz8WTcANd/view?usp=sharing

The Mount Baldy Bouldering Guidebook
Link to the book Introductions At the end of the day, outdoor bouldering is a fairly contrived sport. Some person finds some rock sitting somewhere, decides its climbable, picks some holds to start on, cleans it up, and climbs to the top. They slap some subjective personal difficulty rating on there and call it a…

Methods and Results
* This project was done with P-AI, an on-campus AI club. I was the project manager, and also worked with Elena, John, Kelly, and Phoebe. In this project, we trained a neural network for the task of emotional analysis and then set it loose on a collection of first-person coming-of-age texts to see if there…

This project uses natural language processing and named entity recognition to parse all the names of scientists found in the index and body of physics textbooks and then automatically query their demographic information. We analyze 10 popular intro texts and the entire Pomona curriculum.

About
This project seeks to investigate the progression in sentiment of classic science fiction works from ~1900s-2000s. As various global, international, and domestic events occur in points in history, is there an affect on the sentiment of material released by science fiction authors?

The Restorer of Equilibrium
Abstract The Restorer of Equilibrium is a device that demonstrates a mechanism of control commonly found in dystopian science fiction literature. It utilizes the modern deep learning classification methodologies of emotional analysis and rock-paper-scissors image classification to return the user to a state of emotional neutrality. This is accomplished through a mannequin with shifting facial…

A Statistical Analysis of the Demographics of Physics Textbooks
Homogeneity in textbooks is a new area of study with few major papers. In this study, we work to automate the analysis of textbooks using Natural Language Processing. At this stage, sex and birth location are the variables we can analyze. We analyzed 17 textbook used in the Physics and Astronomy Department at Pomona College…
