Week 10 Post (4/9/18)

This week I was thinking on how to start working on my final paper, and I was working on the abstract and different parts of the final a bit.

As far as my project goes, I was thinking more about the different ways I can introduce noise, and I think I might also keep the idea I had before of introducing fake articles into the mix if the noise levels are set to be high enough. This means I have to also access a database of fake articles and implement that into the code I have. This, and cleaning up my code, is really all that I did this week. I am not super proud of this level of work, but I was pretty busy. At least I have the project planned out, and can now just start working on adding the features in.

Week 9 Post (4/2/18)

This week I was thinking of what to do next based on the feedback I received during the midterm presentation. I decided to try working on the idea of introducing noise into the results as a way to take my project further. I will take a look at using a synonym and antonym based API to get this noise introduced into the results, as well as a way to change the levels of noise. I will also think about ways to make the noise a bit more transparent to the user, although I am not yet sure how that will be done. Besides that, I worked on cleaning up the code a bit.
