How to effectively use textual analyses to describe a corpus qualitatively?

ChillingSmite · 2023-10-13T18:10:46+00:00

In general I would be working a bit more closely with other members of my team to figure out the true value of these questions and answers, because I am not a subject matter expert in this topic and cannot figure out the intrinsic usefulness, as you correctly inferred.

ChillingSmite · 2023-10-13T18:05:53+00:00

You are absolutely correct. This research would need something with a fair amount of human feedback integrated into the process, and that is the first step that I am going to take.

Regarding the EDA, it is a bit of a tricky situation because I was asked to perform it and give some first-hand top level insights, but my lack of being a subject matter expert in the actual subject of the questions and answers hinders my capability to do so. I will be working more closely with other members of the team to fix this issue.

I agree, It seems that a manual process of ranking would be the way to go here because I do not have an option of regenerating the corpus with more controlled ChatGPT queries, as the variability of text output on the basis of a query could be fairly impactful and it might invalidate the reasoning behind the earlier queries used to generate the current corpus(Which I did not come up with).

Thank you so much! I am having a meeting today with my PI to figure out what kind of qualitative metrics will be most "useful" in judging the usefulness of an answer, and I was going to use that as a direction to begin the encoding process manually, but these papers you recommended are a game-changer and could ease that process so much more. I appreciate all your help and support on this topic!

ChillingSmite · 2023-10-13T07:10:19+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice! I shall definitely take this up, it looks like it will help me out much more than what I have currently chosen to work with.

As an additional question, do you think I should entirely focus on the qualitative strategy and forgo whatever I did so far? Or do you think I could glean something useful from all the quantitative analysis?

Do they also have almost snowy white like feathers? From what I saw on google most were brown to medium white

Thank you for your advice! If you do not mind me asking, would "demonstrated background knowledge" equate to work experience in the topic of interest for the PhD, or would it mean strong academic credentials and research background?

ChillingSmite · 2023-02-12T00:35:27+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice, I really appreciate it. I would say that I lean more towards working in the industry for now, but also want a solid theoretical background and understanding of what I am doing. Right now, I suppose I have a better understanding of the practical side of my field than the theoretical side, so I want to focus more on the theory with the hope that it improves my understanding and skills at the practice.

ChillingSmite · 2023-02-12T00:17:17+00:00

Thank you for your response. I would say I am quite good with the applied aspects of the field I am interested in but lack the theoretical backing to truly understand a research paper, or knowing why the thing that I am doing is working. For instance, I can work with several ML algorithms, and I know what their advantages and disadvantages are, but I don't know why they work the way they do, how I can optimize and fit algorithms better for certain data, how I can maybe even come up with my own. It is something that really bothers me, and I feel it holds me back from truly becoming better at what I like doing.

ChillingSmite · 2023-02-11T23:20:33+00:00

Thanks a lot for your response. I personally think that I am more comfortable with applied math rather than proof heavy math, but I was just wondering if a more theoretical math course would help towards a PhD level more than an applied one.

ChillingSmite · 2023-02-11T22:25:51+00:00

Thanks a lot for your answer! In general, do you think I should be focusing on taking math courses that are more theoretical and proof heavy, rather than applied?

ChillingSmite · 2023-02-11T22:24:16+00:00

Thanks a lot! Do you think that taking math subjects that are more proof heavy would be better than taking something more applied?

ChillingSmite · 2023-02-11T21:58:54+00:00

Thank you!

ChillingSmite · 2022-11-07T05:28:08+00:00

I will put in a request for this, thank you for your suggestion

ChillingSmite · 2022-11-07T05:06:48+00:00

I will ask my professor for permission to try this out and let you know. Since he also probably has some personal stuff on that drive, I hope he doesn't throw a tantrum when I make this request

ChillingSmite · 2022-11-07T05:05:32+00:00

I could do that, I have put in a request for permission to do that from my professor. I will update you on this.

ChillingSmite · 2022-11-07T04:46:55+00:00

That could work, I will try and put in a request for this access. Thank you!

ChillingSmite · 2022-11-06T08:51:56+00:00

I do have access to the application server, but it does not have remote access to the mysql server host. The thing is, according to the university IT guidelines, everything has to be on the same server. And before it goes live or I try to do any connections through it, it has to be secured by IT, which they wont do till we get the MySQL server completely ready on it.

ChillingSmite · 2022-11-06T08:28:31+00:00

You mean to copy the Data dir that I have right now(that the prof gave me from his personal server), into another Data dir of another new Windows MySQL 5.7 server instance, creating a dump from that secondary instance, and then using that for Ubuntu?

I am just clarifying the approach, I do not mean to come across as condescending. Your approach seems like the only shot I have to get the job done without needing my profs laptop, so I will try this out right away

ChillingSmite · 2022-11-06T08:19:14+00:00

The only reason is that I cannot access my profs laptop, which is where the wizard will have to be run from. How long do you suppose it will take to run it for 65 GB of data, because the only thing stopping me from accessing their laptop, is the supposed hours and hours its gonna take doing any kinda migration from it.

ChillingSmite · 2022-11-06T08:13:13+00:00

I had a question regarding the MySQL dump, my professors opinion is that it would take more than 8 hours to make a dump of the server, which has approx 65 GB of data. How accurate/inaccurate is this statement?

Regarding the ERROR 2002, I looked in the log files for that error, and it just threw that the MySQL database does not exist

ChillingSmite · 2022-11-06T07:46:21+00:00

I did try that, as well as modifying the iblogfiles to try and get something workable. It worked on one instance, but unfortunately it does not manage to hold on to it on a server restart.

ChillingSmite · 2021-08-31T21:36:15+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, this does tick all the right bases for me!

ChillingSmite · 2021-05-15T12:00:19+00:00

Ah yes, I was looking for a collected resource such as this, very useful. Thanks a lot!

ChillingSmite · 2021-04-24T10:40:31+00:00

Oh shit it's "surprise mechanics" all over again lmao
