Work Accomplished
I decided to combine this week's and last week's blog post, because I spent last week at OCWiC 2017 and on a graduate school visit and this week is our spring break. So, I was able to make progress on the data analysis for the StackOverflow project this week, while last week I was busy networking. OCWiC 2017 was a lot of fun and a great networking opportunity. I met many female students and faculty throughout Ohio that could be potential collaborators moving forward. I also attended a very informative talk about empowering future female programmers, which will inform our ACM-W chapter's outreach events. Here is a photo of me presenting my poster:
I also spent four days at Carnegie Mellon University on a graduate school visit. There I met many faculty and students in the Institute for Software Research. I really felt like it was the right fit, so I officially committed to CMU this week.
Finally, I wrote an R script to take the StackOverflow study data and sort it by column name for input into our data analysis.
Goal
Weekly goal(s) - In the next week, I will be taking some time off from research on the StackOverflow project for the rest of spring break and until I can touch base with Dr. Lazar and Dr. Sharif on the next steps.
Long-term goal(s) - Perform select data analyses appropriate for answering the following research questions:
- To what degree do programmers focus on key words that extraction techniques generate?
- To what degree do the top n keywords from our approach and the standard approach match our Oracle generated keywords?
- What are the best machine learning algorithms (informed by eye gaze) that can be successfully used to make predictions?
Outcome(s)
- Presented my poster at OCWiC 2017 and attending various talks and workshops there
- Visited Carnegie Mellon University and made my official decision to attend their PhD program in Software Engineering in the fall
- Wrote an R script to sort our StackOverflow data by column name and output to a new file
