🧠 Daily Study Log [2025-07-08]
Still feeling a bit off, so I kept the pace moderate. Continued tracking SCU_Competition progress, studied TOEIC listening and grammar patterns, and started rebuilding messy Chapter 1 code from Deep Learning for Vision Systems. Didn’t get to start the new CV project yet — planning to tackle that tomorrow alongside a proper paper review.

📊 SCU_Competition — Submission Review & Next Steps

Focus: Reviewed past results and prepared new experiment plans

• No new submission today — mainly log cleanup and feature weight planning
• Still holding Submission 61 as the current best (Kaggle AUC 0.8977)
• Considering a new single LGBM model with interaction-rich features
• Might revisit a well-tuned StackingClassifier with passthrough=True

Reflection:

• VotingClassifier (6:2:2) seems like the sweet spot
• Time to challenge it with a lightweight yet well-engineered solo model

🎧 TOEIC Study — Listening & Grammar Practice

Listening (Unit 3 - Short Conversations):

• Worked on recognizing paraphrases and intonation traps
• Practiced speed listening and picking up key wh-words

Grammar (Adverbs vs. Adjectives):

• Focused on commonly confused pairs like:
  • hard vs. hardly
  • late vs. lately
  • high vs. highly

Reflection:

• Listening comprehension slowly improving
• Grammar drills help solidify test instincts — daily practice is key

👁️ CV Study — Cleaning Up DL4VS Code

Task:

• Rebuilding Chapter 1 notebook from scratch
• Added intuitive examples: image loading, blurring, Sobel/Canny filters

Motivation:

• Original code was messy and hard to follow
• Rewriting everything clearly with my own annotations

Reflection:

• Haven’t started the segmentation project yet, but the groundwork is solid
• With cleaner code, jumping into experiments will be smoother tomorrow

🔍 Tomorrow’s Plan

• ✅ Launch segmentation project (start with baseline model)
• ✅ Write Paper Review: EfficientNet (Day 4), summarize Days 1–3
• ✅ Continue TOEIC prep (Part 3 Listening + Advanced Grammar)

✅ TL;DR

📍 SCU: No new submission — planning cleaner solo LGBM with strong feature interactions
📍 TOEIC: Focused on short conversations + confusing grammar pairs
📍 CV: Refactoring DL4VS Chapter 1 notebook for clarity
📍 Tomorrow: Start CV project + resume paper review routine
