Washington D.C. used to seem like a world away but now is a quick afternoon drive. Early morning drives to the airport only to make it through security before the sun rises and the Dunkin’ opens. Paying an inexcusable $4.18 for a 16oz. bottle of water, only to down it moments later. Those lines have described the past month making my way around the east coast. https://davidan.dev/posts/catchup/ Sun, 06 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://davidan.dev/posts/catchup/ It’s been 2.5 months since I graduated, and approximately 3-ish months since the last computer or mathematical related post. While alot has gone on, there will definitely be a steady catch up of content that has been written but not yet uploaded. After settling down and moving, there should be much more time to write. In lieu of that however, there has been alot of time to do cool things and catch up with people since then. https://davidan.dev/posts/bike/ Mon, 03 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://davidan.dev/posts/bike/ The streets are empty with the streetlights being the only company in the morning. Wet, damp fog provide the only relief in what is projected to be another scorching day when the sun comes up. I can’t see the crows screeching into the dawn, but I can hear them singing their song. It’s July in central Illinois. I lace up my white bike cleats, marred with grease marks and mud and clip into my bike; providing a stark contrast to the hot-rod red paint job of my carbon fiber contraptions. https://davidan.dev/posts/donut/ Sat, 12 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://davidan.dev/posts/donut/ “$7.13 is your total sir.” These are the same words I hear every Friday morning from the woman behind the counter. Her eyes weary from the same cycle day over day; something that has become a habit over years of monotony. However, it’s not her which gives the donut shop the character it possesses; instead, it’s moreso the cacophony of hearing the ovens blaring, cash registers ringing, and blenders blending which gives this donut shop its character. https://davidan.dev/posts/firstsem/ Wed, 15 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://davidan.dev/posts/firstsem/ All of this comes together for a Fake Detection Network, or FaDe-Net. In order to validate and benchmark our results, we performed a series of metric tests on the MIT Fake News Dataset1 and achieved a precision rate of 90.31% as well as an accuracy rate of 88.56%. Our experiments indicate the model is more effective at fake news detection. However, this model still has a significant amount of room to improve in future research.
