# Updates & Goals

Summer
- Submitted paper on CoNNOR to Forensic Science International
    - Written for examiners, focus on "why" CNNs work (instead of "how")
- Written Prelim
- Attended JSM

Research Updates and Goals
- Truncate convolutional base for different output features
- Train random forest on convolutional features
    - Use importance to filter features
- Unsupervised Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs) to evaluate/adjust current classification scheme
