This is a continuation of designing a new podcast application. You can read Part 1 here and Part 2 here, Part 3 here and Part 4 here. This post goes over the theoretical exercise of designing and developing a set of A/B tests in order to improve the interface.
I am an avid podcast listener and have started listening to a larger number of podcasts that delve in social, political and economic issues. I believe that there is a need for increased conversations around these topics and at the same time an easier way to discover new episodes or podcasts for users. This project focuses on researching and proposing a design to enable better podcasts discovery and to increase the conversations happening around the topics being covered.
For the past 4 months I along with my team have been working on developing our capstone project. The project is focusing on developing a machine learning system to detect any intrusion attempts into a network by focusing on host based intrusion detection. In recent years, there have been significant security breaches such as the Yahoo hack and thus this project is particularly important. As part of a project we are working with a security company based in Toronto which acts as advisors. To build the actual system we are using a publicly available dataset. This post focuses on the design of the front end user interface. Certain user interviews were conducted along with my team but all conclusions made, and any design decisions made are my own and are being used for the purposes of SYDE 542.
