This is a free event. I would love to have lots of people come and show their support, 'cuz this is very scary to do. Still, I understand that it's a bit far from most of you.
Love,
Ms. Spice
This is THE event to attend! Gosh! I wish I could be there to hear the brilliance and glorious sounds emanating from the stage! Will you be producing DVDs of the performance? Do you accept paypal?
Good luck!

So rubbing it in for everyone who can't make it? [Emoticon not found]

I do accept paypal. However, pal, I don't plan on having any DVDs made.....yet.
Foehg:Good luck!

Nope, just covering my tracks so that I don't get anyone mad at me for not telling them about it. I've received threats about this in the past.
So...
How was your senior recital?
Awww.... Foehg, you are SO sweet to ask. All I can say is that I survived it, which is miracle enough! I don't know whether I passed according to my professors, but the people who came (bless them!!) seemed to really like it.
Yay! Congrats!
So... do you get to graduate now?
Okay, I just got the official information from my professor that I passed my recital, which means I'm definitely graduating! YAY!!!!!!
Woohoo!
It's a party wherever anyone is at!
And the guest of honor is FruitySpice!
Yay! Who's throwing the party?
What's the sound of one hand clapping?
This party that doesn't need any throwing, 'cause it's already ballistic! (Come as you are!)
I'm having ice cream!!
What is everyone else having?
I'm having hysterics!
With this being final projects week, I've got enough of them on hand. And they're more party-appropriate than boredom or drudgery.
almost there.
half a project, most of a paper, and one presentation to go.
but the presentation's all ready. i just need to make sure i wake up in time.
My final project status report:
I have to give a presentation in my Statistical Natural Language Processing class tomorrow at 9 am, which ostensibly means the project has to be working, even if I haven't written up the final stuff to turn it in.
As it stands, I've been putting off the hard part and just organizing my data corpus. I think I've got all the files trimmed to how I want them, now I just have to break them into training, testing, and final-testing chunks. And then implement the actual project, which will use an entropy-maximizing model to determine authorship of various pieces of Russian literary criticism from the 19th Century. Fortunately, I think the code I already have will do most of the heavy lifting. Most of what I have left is to implement a data reader that will suck the words out of the files and present them to the system, and a feature extractor that will help train the system by telling it what about the available texts is relevant to the analysis.
Once that's done, I'll-- well, I'll probably take a nap. The next order of business, though, is to start on the stuff that's due Thursday, which is pretty much everything else.
The writeup for the final project, but I'll probably do that after the other stuff.
Final project for CHum 250. I think I can wrap that one up pretty quick, given the work I've already done on it. In fact, percentagewise, I've done more on it than on any other ongoing project.
Umm, actually, my Russian Literature capstone presentation is Monday at 1pm. That's 10-ish minute oral presentation that I don't know when I'll prepare, but (so help me) I will prepare it.
Back to Thursday. I also need to turn in my term paper for Russian Lit. Six pages in Russian, or eight pages in English. Wonderfully enough, I think I can hand-write it, which would dramatically reduce the amount of actual text I would have to produce if that's true.
I haven't even started on that one. I'll need to find three scholarly sources and watch a two hour movie before I can.
i'll stop complaining so much then...
i feel for ya' ransom. i'm way closer than you, and i still don't think i'll have time to sleep before thursday at midnight.
my presentation's at 9 am tomorrow as well. hopefully i'm awake for it. everything's good to go for that, and i even got to squeeze some new (to me) technology and a bit of personal soapboxing into the outline.
i think my break is almost over, so i'm off to do a CHum project. sounds appetizing, neh?
Okay, so I've totally partitioned my corpus now. I think I'm going to take a 20-minute nap. Since everything's going to be later than I want it to be anyhow, might as well stay sharp while I'm doing it. And this has worked very well for me in the past. It has also backfired horribly. More updates as they come.
Everyone, I wish you the best of luck on your finals!!!!
WOOHOO! all i got left is a paper. granted it's a ten page research paper. but it shouldn't be too bad.
well, that and finals.
I never worry about finals.
Foehg:I never worry about finals.
Oh, look who's too cool for school.
Buzz, you and I both know CS finals are formalities compared to all the project and other things you should be doing.
I promised updates, so here we go!
I just got results back from my authorship classifier:
[aksakov_i,aksakov_k] : 14.0
[grigoryev,dobrolubov] : 5.0
[aksakov_i,belinsky] : 4.0
[mihailovsky,dobrolubov] : 4.0
[grigoryev,belinsky] : 3.0
[grigoryev,annensky] : 3.0
[aksakov_k,belinsky] : 2.0
[annensky,vyazemsky] : 2.0
[belinsky,grigoryev] : 1.0
[mihailovsky,grigoryev] : 1.0
[mihailovsky,vyazemsky] : 1.0
[annensky,mihailovsky] : 1.0]
Confusion Matrix: 0.5176470588235295
This is a list of mistakes that the classifier made, and an overall rating. If I'm correctly remembering how to interpret this:
The system trains itself on about 100k from each of eight authors, then sets about classifying the dev-test set. It gets over half of the answers correct, and mistakes texts written by Ivan Sergeyevich Aksakov for the work of his brother Konstantin Sergeyevich Aksakov pretty much three quarters of the time.
I did just great on my Russian presentation today, and passably mediocre on the presentation for this project, because I hadn't finished it yet.
Also, I watched all of "The Nose", so I can now go find some scholarly sources, and compare it to the original version that Gogol wrote.
SpecialK:Buzz, you and I both know CS finals are formalities compared to all the project and other things you should be doing.
Yeah... but I didn't know that Ransom was CS?
Yep. Doubling CS and Russian.
Russian finals are never much to worry about, either.
Submitted that project. The only thing I'm missing now is Russian Lit.
Which, incidentally, is the last thing I turned in last semester, as well.
