Braille translation
Description: In addition to using language to communicate in daily life, blind people also rely on Braille to express and read ideas. However, Braille needs to be learned from scratch and takes a lot of time, which is very difficult for many people who want to understand them immediately, so making this braille translator can effectively reduce the difficulty of communicating with blind people, so that people can more easily understand what the blind people want to express.

A system that detects emotions without questioning
Description: Emotion recognition provides benefits to many institutions and aspects of life. It is critical for easily and simply detecting human feelings at a given moment without actually asking. That’s why people are starting to want to use AI to solve this problem. But the limitations of AI in understanding human emotions remains a challenge. The project used 28821 images as training data and 7066 images as detection data. A convolutional neural network model was created using Keras. Then a visualization platform is built to show the effect. Seven different emotions are detected in real time by the camera. Achieve the effect of easily and simply detecting human feelings without actually asking them.

Predictive Models of Literacy Based on Physical and Electronic Access to Literature
Description: An observational study using publicly available data government data to perform predictive analytics on SAT scores based on the measured physical and electronic access to literature. The study also highly focused on the reproducibility of the work for later improvement by enforcing the use of Docker images and AWS EC2 to enable any researcher, regardless of their personal computer to reproduce and improve upon the methods chosen with the same data and environment. The measurement of impact was assessed by the percent of the variance covered in any predictive model while maintaining statistical significance.

An analysis of the psychology behind education and training as it applies to organizational security awareness
Description: This paper dives into the current state of security awareness and cybersecurity. Current cybersecurity awareness training is boring and organizations rely too heavily on technical tools to circumvent threats. I explore a couple of different methods to improve education, namely gamification, and how and why it works. Organizations need to focus more on the psychology of their delivery methods versus meeting compliance if their wish is to increase security awareness and create a more resilient workforce.
