2023 Week 3: (June 12th - June 16th)

Monday (6/12)

  • Completed Week 3 courses for the Coursera class I am taking
    • Vector Space Models
  • Dug more into the ICD_9 records

Tuesday (6/13)

  • Completed labs from week 1 and week 2 of coursera course
    • Logistic Regression and Naive Bayes

Wednesday (6/14)

  • Heard research talk from Dr. Praveen
  • Talked with peers about where they are in their projects
  • Continued with week 4 of coursera lectures

Thursday (6/15)

Friday (6/16)

  • Began messing with preprocessing functions with some columns of the dataset (MIMIC-III, D_ICD_DIAGNOSES)
    • Removed punctuation, made lowercase, tokenized, then stemmed the columns
  • Continued to read up on relevent information about how to preprocess and word2vector strategies

2023 Week 4: (June 19th - June 23rd )

Tuesday (6/20)

  • Re-read one of the more valuable research papers to get an idea of where to go from here after learning more about the relevent technologies and algorithms
  • Reviewed coursera materials to better understand the steps in the process of natural language processing
  • Continued to tinker with the data with preprocessing before I get more in depth this week

Wednesday (6/21)

  • Listened to a great research lecture from Dr. Walt Bialkowski on using data science to predict food shortages at local pantries
  • Talked with peers about their projects after the lecture
  • Began creating some slides and reviewing materials for mini-presentation

Thursday (6/22)

  • Met with my mentor to talk about mini-presentation coming up next week as well as adjustments to my pre-processing methods and what to do next
  • Continued with creation of the mini-presentation and script to go along with it

Friday (6/23)

2023 Week 6:( July 3rd - July 7th )

Monday (7/3)

  • Reviewed two research papers for content and ideas on methodology
