So my biggest challenge on this project is going to be planning. I just don't work in an organised way. I'm sure I would probably get better results but I just don't stick to plans so I don't make them. I realise I am going to have to plan this properly.
I do have experience of doing a large project from my Fellowship of the Institute of Biomedical Science. I am pretty good a writing well and producing reports. Certainly as far as the OU goes what my reports lack is substance! My knowledge of computing isn't the best, so I'll have to try harder.
Having read the study guide I realise that doing a project solely based around neural networks isn't enough. I am considering using a knowledge based system to in effect preprocess some of the data required into a form that a neural network can use, so in effect a hybrid system.
I have downloaded the Royal College of Pathologists publication Guidelines on Staffing and Workload for Histopathology and Cytopathology Departments (2nd Edition) 2005. I will read through this to see how practicle it is to calculate workload for histology specimens from the data in our labs computer system. On first glance it seems somewhat ambitious. I plan to look at the suggested online databases from the study guide.
I must email my tutor to tell him of the existance of the blog so that he can comment if he wants to.
A hectic weekend and seeing West Ham lose in injury time has not put me in the best of moods.
