== Research Activities (August 22, 2024 – September 15, 2024) ==

=== Week log ===  
==== Week 1: Foundational Research (August 22–27) ====  
  * Reviewed seminal papers on attention mechanisms, including:  
    * //Attention Is All You Need//
    * //Masked-attention Mask Transformer for Universal Image Segmentation//  
  * Developed proficiency in Anaconda and Python programming for AI applications.  
  * Joined laboratory research under mentorship of senior researchers.

==== Week 2: Collaborative Paper Development (August 28 – September 3) ====  
  * Supported experiments for the paper //TGMformer: Transferability Guided Mask Transformer for Segmentation Domain Adaptation// (led by senior Zhang Enming):  
    * Implemented baseline models comparing fine-tuning strategies (last layer vs. full network) for transfer learning.  
    * Formalized mathematical definitions for transfer learning, clustering algorithms, and attention masking in the Methods section.  
    * Assisted with LaTeX typesetting and document formatting.

==== Week 3: Data Pipeline Implementation (September 4–10) ====  

    * Continued working on the paper //TGMformer: Transferability Guided Mask Transformer for Segmentation Domain Adaptation//
    * Engineered a data loader and task-splitting module for the ImageNet-R dataset to support experiments with the //Hypernet// framework.  
    * Debugged and optimized code to improve functional reliability.


==== Week 4: Analysis and Synthesis (September 11–15) ====  
    * Evaluated experimental results from the //Hypernet// project and documented insights.  
    * Authored a reflective summary highlighting growth in research skills, data processing, and software testing.
