I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving Break! I've been doing quite a bit of book keeping this week in between black friday and cyber monday shopping.
First, I submitted an abstract to the 2013 National Conference on
Undergraduate Research. If it is accepted, we will be going to the University of Kentucky on April 3 to give an oral presentation. This will be the first opportunity to present this research, so I am very excited!
I also wrote a proposal for the Undergraduate Student Research Grant at my home university. I made it in LaTeX, so it is looking pretty sharp. I am going to try to get it approved by my advisors and the chair of the computer science and information systems department tomorrow. We are trying to get funding for various research supplies. Wish me luck!
I am also working on a painfully detailed procedural list, for all the papers we have read thus far. We should be able to work directly off this list, to reproduce some of the previous work before fully implementing our new system.
I am making progress on preprocessing our data. I am following along with a tutorial to produce a vector space model that we can apply a similarity measure to. We will probably start off with cosine similarity, but if I feel ambitious I might implement either the Dice or Jaccard similarity as well.
Have a nice day!
