submitted an abstract for some document classification work i’ve been doing lately. feels good to even sign up to write a 4-page paper about what i’ve been up to. it’s one thing to write a project report, another thing still to make i sound all academic. i s’pose this will occupy art of the weekend.
but not the whole thing. we’ve got plans to have a picnic, go see some plays, and hit a few museums. tomorrow, we’ll start with museums and a coffee shop or two to get in some work on our personal projects. so good to be out of school and able to focus on, frankly, more important things.
pulled down some data today at work and did some slicing and dicing. feels good to pull out the ginsu code ninja skills. i’ll need ‘em if i’m going to test out my summarization system on the duc04 dataset and find time to participate in the plagiarism detection competition…
also started gathering a few stories for a collection i’m calling against the grain of truth. these will be stories insired by recent events in my life, but with chilling consequences. consider a work of catharsis. also started bringing together some poems for a collection i’m calling the limits of observation, in which i’m railing against the hubris of man to think we have the answers with our so-called science.
anyhoo, looking forward to productive times this summer! time to exit stage left…
