‘Programming’

Last time, I generated a few data sets for testing different methods of rating the training news articles.  This time, I actually implemented two of them, the naive approach I had used before, and the new-and-improved version taking into account temporal interference. Read more…

From my last post, I introduced the idea of creating test data sets for the purpose of finding an algorithm to tease apart the influence of individual news articles.  I have done just that and am posting the data sets for further analysis. Read more…

This article is the second of the Automated News Analysis series, regarding a particular problem I overlooked during my first try at news analysis.  The subject of this article is taking a dataset of news and price history, and attempting to assign sentiment to the news articles for which we know the price development.  The problem that we will explore in particular, is removing influences from other news articles near our target article in time.

As many of you are probably aware, I’ve been involved in varying degrees with a project on computational finance.  Originally called the DarwInvest project, I had intended to develop a Genetic Programming algorithm for making intelligent trades on price history data.  The projected ended up being encompassed by the development of my extensive GP library, Darwin, my proudest achievement in elegant code design.  Well, I’m back at it, and this time I’m trying to tackle the news!

Back to working on the example application for the State Model, OrganizeIt!  For this phase, we will be preparing to actually write the UI code, by handling the layout. Read more…

So here I am, sitting by my computer at 2:30 AM and I’m wondering if I should go to bed, or just keep on working.  Of course I’m going to finish the Facebook Dislike Button tonight… Read more…
