Week 10

Accomplishments
We have a draft good enough to submit. We submitted by the due date but then the due date was extended. Though we edited it thoroughly last week there's still more to be done with it.
Weekly Goal
Have an amazing Oakweek paper and start planning for future submissions.

Week 9

Accomplishments
This week we really concentrated on the submission for Oakweek. I wrote the methods, and helped with the abstract and the results. I revised everything and helped choose the sources we would use. We wanted to make sure it was the best it could be. I looked at the code a little but with no notable results.
Weekly Goal
This week we need to finish are submission. I would also like to make some more headway in my statistics program and start to understand all of what Hannah has been doing.

Week 8

Accomplishments
I did it! The we now have the most commonly used words in the titles and the tags. After managing to split the title and tags into words the rest was easy. The program now runs and I began looking at other aspects of the code to see if they can also be useful.
Weekly Goal
Finish going through the code and finish the application to present at Oakweek, the Ohio women in computing conference.

Week 7

Accomplishments
I continued to debug our statistics program and made a little headway. Unfortunately  my computer struggled to handle the massive amount of data need for these programs and also crashed. Since then I've looked for alternative ways to feed in the data and it seems to have really helped.
Weekly Goal
This week I hope to have the program gather statistics on words as well as characters. In addition I'd like to find an NLP library for R.

Week 6

Accomplishments
We now have a github repository and some working code. We found statistics for the data using R and have tentative models. Not all of the code is functional, but it's definitely a start! We've both separately encountered problems as we've coded. I've run into a memory shortage problem and Hannah's computer actually crashed, but we're pushing through the bugs and will hopefully have two function programs next week.
Weekly Goal
The goal this week is simply to complete the programs we started last week and start writing up results.
