Work Log: 2026-05

Info:

  • This is an append-only work log.
  • Main purpose: help future me resume work quickly.
  • Public readability is useful, but this is not a polished monthly report.
  • You can say this is a AGENT.md/CLAUDE.md/GEMINI.md for my future self.

Rules:

  • Keep entries date-stamped and in chronological order.
  • Record changes, decisions, risks, and the next actions.
  • Keep private life, job-process details, and sensitive experiment details out.
  • If one section grows too large, split it into a standalone post later.

Current State

  1. Research:
    • Levels journal-grade diagnostic chain.
    • BP4D++ dataset label limitations for stress estimation, may affect the experiment design.
    • Review the possibility of VLM/LLM for emotion recognition for next research direction.
  2. Job preparation:
    • Review 2 past exam question sets.
  3. New Blog
    • Design is mostly ready, need backend.

Do Not Forget

  • Do your LeetCode/acm practice.
  • Must do research.

Current Next Actions

Standalone Candidates

  • BP4D++ label limitations for stress estimation
  • BP4D++ dataset overview and preprocessing for stress estimation
  • Review of VLM/LLM for emotion recognition and hardware requirements.

Project

Experiment result investigation / Context file manage

Done

  • Reconstructed md memory files.
  • Added single seed investigation script.
  • Made some investigation for low performance issue.
  • T3 low/high does not have strong signal, binary feature screening of logreg/linear_svm showed even contact BVP macro-f1 is 0.5596.
  • z-score/no z-score in Quantile MTF showed completely identical picture.

Decision

  • Do future investigation for journal writing.

Project

UEvolve implementation:

  • Scoped a closed-loop RAG workflow connecting indexing, retrieval, decision evidence, and knowledge write-back.
  • Scoped a self-extension validator to check scaffold, schema, tests, dry-run apply, build, execution, and rollback.
  • Scoped an export/import package flow for sharing self-generated tools as validated distributable packages.

Research experiments.

Done

  • RAG part is finished and tested, PR is merged
  • Experiment 2 core runs is up and running.

Decision

  • Do more research things

Risk

  • Journal won’t be in time at this rate.
