- Tested Ruby code for Facial Recognition and Object Recognition successfully with AWS Rekognition and Polly. - Text recognition function is probably still not implemented by Amazon. The code is in github. - Working on converting the code to Python

- Found this good site for medical image datasets. Ongoing competitions keep the collection fresh. https://grand-challenge.org/challenges/

- Researched on interesting project ideas involving Raspberry pi. (Mining Neblio coins could be one :)). Currently reading up on a project on the use of Blockchain for Vehicle Registration. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/blockchain-streamline-vehicle-registration-process-hackathon-das/ And now even more looking forward to attending Dr. Banda's class next semester.
