Rhode Island Report · Nov 1, 10:30 PM

On Wednesday morning Joel and I left for Rhode Island. We left at 4:30 AM, and were back Thursday at midnight. Betwixt the two we explored downtown Newport, spent too many hours sitting around ATL, and interviewed with the “Naval Undersea Warfare Center“http://www.nuwc.navy.mil/. I was interviewed by Submarine Sonar (Code 21) and Missile, Launcher & Payload Integration Dept. (Code 40). The former went very well; the later… “not so much.”

The Submarine Sonar group does some neat signal processing research—I was shown their class-specific method classifier, and learned that it learns faster and outperforms even support-vector machines. I’m sure you’re excited and want to hear more.
