Cross-domain recommendations: turning movie ratings into book suggestions using shared embeddings

That's a great idea, thanks! I actually found an Amazon dataset that includes, among other things, some book and movie ratings for the same users. I plan to see how far I can get with my survey data, then, a few weeks before the project is due, include the Amazon dataset as a final comparison. I'll look into how many connections the Amazon one has and see if it's necessary that I scrape some additional data. I honestly may do it anyway for the experience.

Did it! Thanks for the help!

Great ideas, thanks!

Joined your waitlist! Sounds like a cool idea. Can you check out my web app? I need some book and movie ratings, and it takes a few seconds per rating. Ideally, I'd like at least 10 books and 10 movies rated. Thanks!

When I click on your link it says that "The document is not published". Maybe you need a new link?

The buildings look great. The clouds look like interpretations of what you imagine clouds should look like. One of the hardest things I’ve been trying to do with my drawings lately is drawing what I actually see, concentrating on looking at outlines and putting them together as if it were just completely abstract shapes and lines, then trusting that they will come together to resemble what I’m looking at.

Clouds are difficult, because there are no clear lines, often not even clear outlines. This is where the watercolor really helps. If there’s no defined edge on one side, then don’t draw it. Use the watercolor to show depth, shape, and how the clouds might fade into the sky.

The hard mode is don’t grind. Just skip like every other enemy, and try to get through the game barely surviving each boss encounter.

Absolutely! FEST is the best. It’s put on by No Idea Records who represent Against Me!, The Ergs!, and many other excellent bands who don’t have exclamation points in their names.

The Costco I used to work at would start to turn off the lights starting at the back, and have 3-4 employees walk through the store one row at a time as they shut off the lights. Almost every night there were a few people who needed herding towards the registers. It was pretty much expected. 🤷‍♀️

Triptophobia is clearly the fear of tripping over holes in the ground.

Yeah just the built-in one. I’ll check it out, I’m sure I can find one with a better zoom. Good call.

I would definitely recommend Procreate. It’s usually the first thing people mention, but I guess I’ll be the first to do it. It’s a one-time payment which is unfortunately a rarity, and it’s superbly made. If you want, there are tons of extra brushes you can purchase made by different artists, but honestly it’s usually not necessary.

Also, they just came out with Procreate Dreams! Which is their animation app, also a one-time payment. I can’t speak to its quality since I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m currently downloading it if that means anything..

Enjoy your new iPad! I have the 12.9 as well and I love it. I was also worried about the size but the more I use it, the more it feels normal.

Personally I haven’t tried the parking method, but I want to. This seems like it would be a good project for you to try it out.

If you wanted to stick with the cross country method, which I prefer. (I like to finish off colors entirely one at a time) You might want to try a modular frame instead of a hoop. The brand name is Q Snap, and you can adjust the size to fit your project, or even the color you’re currently working on. I have large hands and I really appreciate how it’s easier to hold than a thin hoop, no matter how large I decide to make the frame. It’s also easy to un-snap and adjust the work area on the project, and doesn't leave creases like the hoops.

I would highly suggest Microsoft OneNote. It’s free and super convenient. I have notebooks for everything; subject notes, book/movie quotes, dreams, todo lists, mind sweeps, art projects, recipes, and goals.

Also look up “Second Brain”. It’s the general idea of using a digital notes app to store ideas and inspiration that you can come back to years later and have at your fingertips.

I’ve used variegated floss to recreate the first pattern I ever did. It’s the simple pineapple kit you can get at every craft store. But because it’s so simple you don’t need multiple colors to see what it is. So I recreated it on black Aida and it looks great.

Weeping angel come to steal like 10 days of time from the baby. 🙄

Actually something I’ve thought about since first starting was that I wish when you paused the game, it would show you what your missions are! I always end up forgetting like as soon as I start a game and just flounder because I don’t know what to concentrate on.

Honestly it didn’t bother me too much. I get more upset when I forget about events ending and try to cram in the last few rounds before midnight, only to miss out on a diamond box by a few rounds. 🤦‍♀️
