Wildcat Offroad

John Nettles

The K State Baja SAE team, also known as Wildcat Offroad, needs a new dashboard for their car. Their current dashboard, while functional, is somewhat limited in its capabilities. Using a Teensyduino 4.1, it displays dashboard data like a car is expected to do as well as records data when prompted to do so, but the team has expressed desire for something better. Using a Raspberry Pi 3B, a new design should allow the Baja team to expand the capabilities of their car and how they interact with it. The project will be presented by John Nettles at 8 AM on Tuesday, December 10th in DUE 2168 or on Zoom at https://bit.ly/cis598s24a

GrooveMapper

Sean Hackenberg

GrooveMapper is a web application for exploring Spotify music data. GrooveMapper can be used for finding connections between artists and finding new music recommendations. These connections and recommendations are powered by a Neo4j graph database. The data for this project was downloaded using the Spotify API and then organized into a graph structure. This project is coded in python using the python neo4j driver to interact with the graph database and uses pyvis (a graph data visualization package) to visualize the queries on a simple flask interface. This project was created by Sean Hackenberg and is going to be presented on Tuesday, December 10th in DUE 2168 at 8:45 AM. You can watch this presentation through zoom using this link: https://bit.ly/cis598s24a.

Proximity-Aware Spell Correction

Dennis Meyer

Proximity-Aware Spell Correction (PASC) is a C# library serving as a spell check algorithm. The driving idea for PASC is that cellphone typed phrases are riddled with misclicks and misclicks are generally adjacent or physically close to the intended target. PASC utilizes a modification of the Levenshtein Distance algorithm, where character substitutions are substantially cheaper if they are physically close to each other. This provides a spell check software that can be implemented inside other programs to suggest replacements to misclicks – as well as standard misspellings. Dennis Meyer will be presenting Proximity-Aware Spell Correction in DUE 2168 on Tuesday December 10,at 2:45 PM. The presentation will be broadcast on zoom at: bit.ly/cis598s24a

However, this connection can be hard to notice amid everything one has to do in a day. Cirrene is a website, powered by Python Flask, that allows you to track your mood and wellbeing as it relates to weather, gain insights about your own patterns, and learn about strategies to combat weather-related stress. The service is also intended, in this process, to encourage greater mindfulness about one’s mood and wellbeing generally.

Productivity App

Jadin O’Reilly

I want to be more productive and stay off my phone. My goal is to make a mobile application that I can use to track habits and daily tasks. Users are able to create tasks and edit them to reoccur over different days and weeks. You go to the next page and can track your task history and on the next page you’ll have a profile page for you to edit.I created a mobile application using Java Script and React Native. Firebase is doing a lot of the backend work. All the data is stored in Firebase’s Firestone. The authentication is done by Firebase Authentication. Mobile app notifications are done by Firebase Cloud Messaging. I have been testing this application out by using Expo’s mobile phone simulator and Jest, a JavaScript testing library.

Equivalency Form Tracker

Kael Pavlik

Equivalency Form Tracker is a Web Application that organizes course transfer requests and course evaluations for the Computer Science department. On the app, students are able to submit all necessary paperwork and communicate directly to staff for information rather than by email. To turn this idea into a reality, a crud app pattern is used with Vue.js for the front end, and NodeJS and MySQL on the backend. The presentation is December 11, 8 AM in DUE 2168 or online through zoom (bit.ly/cis598s24a).

Parrot

Andrew Mejia

PARROT is an LLM-powered synthetic data generation platform built on the following technology stack: Vue.js for a component based front-end interface, Flask for the API request handling, and a Python backend that utilizes the power of pretrained Large Language Models. PARROT will be aiming to create and output large volumes of realistic, user-customized data for both software testing and AI model training applications. The Vue.js frontend provides an interface for user defined data structures and relationships, while the Flask API handles the data flow between the user interface and the Python generation engine. PARROT’s backend utilizes pre-trained LLMs to ensure synthetic data outputs in a realistic and consistent way, which can often be difficult to find in real datasets. The software will export the generated data in multiple formats (XML, JSON, CSV), making it useful for applications in enterprise software testing, AI model training, and any scenario where realistic and consistent test data is necessary. This full-stack project will greatly reduce test data preparation work while ensuring data integrity.

Smith House Managerial System

Aidan Beesley

Maitland E. Smith Scholarship House is an off-campus living environment based on the cooperation of all its members. As a part of this, one member is hired each year to serve as the House Manager, who is responsible for the upkeep of Smith House. After serving in that role last year, I thought I could use my computer science skills to improve the efficiency of the role with my Smith House Managerial System. The SHMS is built on a Blazor web front end with a SQL and C# backend for holding and communicating data. With the SHMS, next year’s House Manager will be able to much easier track what products have been used with the data input form and usage trend graphs, as well as being able to automatically send orders for more out with an email bot. With the time saved by this system, the House Manager will be able to spend more time on the academics that got them into Smith House and just enjoy being a student on our wonderful campus. This project will be presented by myself, Aidan Beesley, on December 11th at 3:30pm in DUE 2168, or on Zoom at https://bit.ly/cis598s24a.

Wildcat Watershed

Logan Smith

This project is purposed to assist a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional research team in the furtherance of the knowledge and stewardship of fresh water by implementing a dashboard web application granting local residents in particular, public access to information regarding the health and status of their “backyard” watershed i.e., Wildcat Creek. The Wildcat Creek watershed is to serve as an experimental test-site at which an environmental monitoring system is to be deployed. My specific role in this is to deploy its corresponding public dashboard. This public-facing dashboard coupled with resident surveys and interviews will allow the research team to better understand the influence of enhanced native habitat visibility. The overarching aim of the group is to engage the public in the implementation of a network of “living laboratories” in various watersheds in the US Great Plains region. Due to the requirements of the research team—that the Wildcat Creek site be experimental and its dashboard public- facing—I chose to implement this application using Plotly’s Dash framework, which allows programmers to code analytic data apps and interactive dashboards. Because it can be used for almost all phases of the data analysis process it seemed to be especially well-suited for these requirements. Dash uses Flask for the backend, Plotly for producing plots, and React to handle all components. It provides HTML elements as Python classes (converting Python to HTML) in addition to providing a few other packages (Dash Core Components, Dash Bootstrap Components) that enhance its functionality while keeping the language constant.
