Where the hell have I been!?
Looking back at the past 5 weeks, it's impressive the amount of new things that have been shoved in my face. A list I'll try to make contains:
- Python
- Pandas
- Matplotlib
- Seaborn
- Statsmodels
- Scikit-Learn
- Beautiful Soup
- Selenium
- PRAW
- Plus the math and background to go with it all!
It doesn't seem like much at the time except chaos, but then about a week later it finally sets in. After tomorrow we'll be halfway through the course and while I guess you could say that it's half over, or that it signifies progress, I feel it's more like being halfway up Mount Everest and looking—trying to squint through the clouds and make out what looks like the peak. I don't see a peak and maybe it's because I'm nearsighted but I can also tell you that if were to look down then I can't see where I've started either!
It's been quite a ride and I hope to see it to the end. I don't have time to even think about it further. It's where I perform my best though, on my heels. Probably by design...
After?
I would like to use these skills to expand on some of the class projects I've worked on and I have some other ideas using language processing I think would be fun to play with. I think it would be fun to create an internet chat bot, we'll start with text but if speech recognition is practical then I may add and play with that too. I would also like to make some sort of "Propaganda Detector"
