Editing Authorship detection: 2010 group (section)

===Semester 1, Week 2===
====Jie Dong====
'''Progress and Status this week:'''
# Met up with supervisors
# Applied trigram model algorithm on the 170 English text and test the accuracy of SVM for trigram Markov Model
# Number of key words used in the test are 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50
# Four different kernel functions were used: Linear, Quadratic, rbf, polynomial. And it has been shown that Linear kernel function have the best performance among these four. However, the accuracy is still very low about 50%.
'''Plan and Goals for new week:'''
# The effect of punctuations in the text should be taken into consideration, such as "-" and "'"
# Modified Trigram software
# Further testing
====Leng Tan====
'''Progress and Status this week:'''
# Met up with supervisor
# applied algorithm on the 170 english text and test the accuracy of the SVM for WRI
# applied different kernel function and observe the different result
# develop on word count program for text
'''Plan and Goals for new week:'''
# Modify the delete punctuation method in the interface (look at minutes report number 10th for specs)
# implement interface
# change the number of keywords (currently is 20, try 5,10,15,20,25 and observe the difference)
# start using the new testament as test data

====Tien-en Phua====
'''Progress and Status this week:'''
# Had meeting with supervisors
# Applied algorithm to 170 English text
# Applied algorithm to 85 Federalist paper
# Monitor project progress and re-evaluate the project milestone and timeline
# Develop software for chopping text
# Develop software to count total words of text and also the number of occurrence of each word for better text analysis

'''Plan and Goals for new week:'''
# Identify the reason for in-correct classifications
# Further testing to ensure the correct operation
# Study Greek alphabets
