Title: Zhu, Jenny, “Automatic Digitization of Chess Score Sheets with RNNs”, IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference 2024.
-
Description of Project: During chess games, players write each move on a chess scoresheet. Afterwards, they manually insert these moves onto a computer, a tedious process that can take up to an hour. My research presents a solution to instantaneously digitize score sheets using AI, decreasing the time of digitizing a game from 5-10 minutes to a few seconds. This research can help revolutionize the process for over 8 million people playing competitive chess.

Title: Zhu, Jenny, “Analysis of ELO for an Improved Chess Rating System”, National High School Journal of Science, Spring 2024
-
Description of Project: A chess player’s rating after a tournament is determined by the ELO rating system. Although this system has greatly increased the popularity of chess, it still has flaws and factors whose effect is unknown. My research aims to answer these questions using computer science and math to test different variations of the ranking system to determine the most accurate parameters.

Title: Zhu, Jenny, “An Analysis of OpenSeeD for Video Semantic Labeling”, Summer 2024
-
Description of Project: My research aims to answer the core computer vision problem: how can we create an AI model to understand and interact with its environment? It's something we as humans do subconsciously and is a crucial next step for AI (for self-driving cars, medical imaging, etc.). In my research, I analyze the effectiveness of one such AI model and its future implications.
