The TCU and UNTHSC School of Medicine requires its students to participate in service learning with various non-profit partner organizations in the community. Our team's goal is to make the volunteer sign-up process easier and more convenient for med students, to automate the tracking of students' hours, and to ease the burden on faculty in charge of managing the entire process. We aim to accomplish these goals with a web application that will streamline the volunteer scheduling and hour-tracking process for students and faculty.

Location: Zoom Room 3, 01:58 PM

The TCU Computer Science Department has launched an AlphaGo research project. Currently, it can only be used by those directly involved with the project, and only at certain computers on campus. In addition, the interface for conducting research is difficult to use. Our goal is to make this project more widely accessible to students and faculty alike, whether they wish to help in research, or simply want to learn to play Go. We have developed a web application for the project that allows users to play against various Go AI agents, as well as allowing researchers to train new AI. In addition, our site allows various admin functions to control and edit users and AI agents alike.

Exposing AlphaGo(Zero)’s Weaknesses

Location: Zoom Room 2, 02:15 PM

This is a brief report on a comprehensive assessment of AlphaZero-type algorithms from the viewpoint of optimal play. This study does not join an already crowded field in seeking to enhance the efficiency of these algorithms, but sets sights on more conceptual questions and more quantitatively precise results. In particular, we show that the AlphaZero-type algorithms tend to behave more conservatively when winning and more aggressively when losing. We illustrate our results with a specific example on the 7x7 board.

Measuring the Strength of AlphaGo(Zero)

A common way to evaluate the performance of players in two-player games is to have them play against other players. If the player wins more games than other players, then it is said to be more capable; in other words, the strength of a player is measured relatively. In this project, we seek a way to evaluate the performance of players in terms of absolute. In recent years, self-play reinforcement learning has given rise to capable game-playing agents in a number of complex domains such as Go and Chess. We perform an analysis of a self-play agent using scaled-down versions of Go on a generic platform to measure the strength of the agent via our developed methods.

Smart Homeopathy Doctor App

Type: Undergraduate

Homeopathy is a holistic natural system of medicine and helps patients recover from all types of illnesses naturally, while strengthening their immune system and increasing their energy and vitality. The Hygieia Homeopathy Clinic provides basic knowledge of homeopathy to their patients. Patients use their time-tested methods to trust in their own body’s recovery functionality. The main problem of the website is their patient’s inability to search the website for knowledge and protocols about homeopathy. Other problems with the website include the ability of patients to view and make appointments, purchase vitamins and supplements, and payment information. The Smart Homeopathy Doctor App Senior Design 2021 Team’s goal is to provide their clients a fully functional mobile app for easier content viewing, appointment making, shop, and patient messaging. Furthermore, the website needs to facilitate easy communication between the doctor and patients. The Smart Homeopathy Doctor App is a mobile application. Its primary function is to allow users to query a server-hosted database. The content of the database includes publicly available, non-sensitive data such as FAQs pertaining to homeopathy. The administrator performs database CRUD operations. Over the course of the project, our team has refined our time management skills and honed our Peer Review skills. We communication better by not only updating others on our progress but also asking members for help. We also learned Ionic Framework with Angular for our front-end user experience and learned to store our database in Firebase.
