Generating an astounding $110.7 billion annually in domestic revenue alone [1], the world of accounting is one deceptively lacking automation of its most business-critical processes. While accounting tools do exist for the common person, especially when it is time to pay their taxes, such innovations scarcely exist for many larger industrial tasks. Exceedingly common business events, such as Business Combinations, are surprisingly manual tasks despite their $1.1 trillion valuation in 2020 [2]. This work presents the twin accounting solutions TurboGAAP and TurboIFRS: an unprecedented leap into these murky waters in an attempt to automate and streamline these gigantic accounting tasks once entrusted only to teams of experienced accountants.
A first-to-market approach to a trillion-dollar problem, TurboGAAP and TurboIFRS are the answers for years of demands from the accounting sector that established corporations have never solved.

Music streaming services have affected the music industry from both a financial and legal standpoint. Their current business model affects stakeholders such as artists, users, and investors. These services have been scrutinized recently for their imperfect royalty distribution model. Covid-19 has made these discussions even more relevant as touring income has come to a halt for musicians and the live entertainment industry. <br/>Under the current per-stream model, it is becoming exceedingly hard for artists to make a living off of streams. This forces artists to tour heavily as well as cut corners to create what is essentially “disposable art”. Rapidly releasing multiple projects a year has become the norm for many modern artists. This paper will examine the licensing framework, royalty payout issues, and propose a solution.

Although Spotify’s extensive library of songs are often seen broken up by “Top 100” and main lyrical genres, these categories are primarily based on popularity, artist and general mood alone. If a user wanted to create a playlist based on specific or situationally specific qualifiers from their own downloaded library, he/she would have to hand pick songs that fit the mold and create a new playlist. This is a time consuming process that may not produce the most efficient result due to human error. The objective of this project, therefore, was to develop an application to streamline this process, optimize efficiency, and fill this user need.

Song Sift is an application built using Angular that allows users to filter and sort their song library to create specific playlists using the Spotify Web API. Utilizing the audio feature data that Spotify attaches to every song in their library, users can filter their downloaded Spotify songs based on four main attributes: (1) energy (how energetic a song sounds), (2) danceability (how danceable a song is), (3) valence (how happy a song sounds), and (4) loudness (average volume of a song). Once the user has created a playlist that fits their desired genre, he/she can easily export it to their Spotify account with the click of a button.

Appointment scheduling in health care systems is a well-established domain, however, the top commercial services neglect scheduling analytics. This project explores the benefit of utilizing data analysis to equip health care offices with insights on how to improve their existing schedules. The insights are generated by comparing patients’ preferred appointment times with the current schedule coverage and calculating utilization of past appointments. While untested in the field, the project yielded promising results using generated sample data as a proof of concept for the benefits of using data analytics to remove deficiencies in a health care office’s schedule.

For my Honors Thesis, I decided to create an Artificial Intelligence Project to predict Fantasy NFL Football Points of players and team's defense. I created a Tensorflow Keras AI Regression model and created a Flask API that holds the AI model, and a Django Try-It Page for the user to use the model. These services are hosted on ASU's AWS service. In my Flask API, it actively gathers data from Pro-Football-Reference, then calculates the fantasy points. Let’s say the current year is 2022, then the model analyzes each player and trains on all data from available from 2000 to 2020 data, tests the data on 2021 data, and predicts for 2022 year. The Django Website asks the user to input the current year, then the user clicks the submit button runs the AI model, and the process explained earlier. Next, the user enters the player's name for the point prediction and the website predicts the last 5 rows with 4 being the previous fantasy points and the 5th row being the prediction.

The goal of this project is to measure the effects of the use of dynamic circuit technology within quantum neural networks. Quantum neural networks are a type of neural network that utilizes quantum encoding and manipulation techniques to learn to solve a problem using quantum or classical data. In their current form these neural networks are linear in nature, not allowing for alternative execution paths, but using dynamic circuits they can be made nonlinear and can execute different paths. We measured the effects of these dynamic circuits on the training time, accuracy, and effective dimension of the quantum neural network across multiple trials to see the impacts of the nonlinear behavior.

The field of quantum computing is an exciting area of research that allows quantum mechanics such as superposition, interference, and entanglement to be utilized in solving complex computing problems. One real world application of quantum computing involves applying it to machine learning problems. In this thesis, I explore the effects of choosing different circuit ansatz and optimizers on the performance of a variational quantum classifier tasked with binary classification.

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for improving the chances of successful treatment and survival. In this thesis, many different machine learning algorithms were evaluated and compared to predict breast cancer malignancy from diagnostic features extracted from digitized images of breast tissue samples, called fine-needle aspirates. Breast cancer diagnosis typically involves a combination of mammography, ultrasound, and biopsy. However, machine learning algorithms can assist in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer by analyzing large amounts of data and identifying patterns that may not be discernible to the human eye. By using these algorithms, healthcare professionals can potentially detect breast cancer at an earlier stage, leading to more effective treatment and better patient outcomes. The results showed that the gradient boosting classifier performed the best, achieving an accuracy of 96% on the test set. This indicates that this algorithm can be a useful tool for healthcare professionals in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes.
