Week 6: Evaluate Instrument for Education – Evaluation Tool Design/Development Part 3

     Since this week was the last week that my mentors and I had allotted officially for the design and development phase of our evaluation instrument, I focused my work on finishing the current iteration of the evaluation questionnaire/survey, which I had begun developing over the last few week. Continue reading Week 6: Evaluate Instrument for Education – Evaluation Tool Design/Development Part 3

Week 4: Reproducibility of Script-Based Workflows

  Week four consisted of handling some difficulties with running queries and suggesting non-Prolog/Datalog queries. The first half of week, I got problem in running queries because Logic Programming and Deductive Database system for Unix and Windows was not installed properly. After installation of XSB (Prolog programming language) was completed, I Continue reading Week 4: Reproducibility of Script-Based Workflows

Week 4: Error resolution and begining of ontology matching

The first half of this week was spent in trying to debug the cause for the “divide by zero” issue. Last week, I had come to a conclusion that the problem was with the the graph that was generated from the ontologies. However, when I queried the graph with other Continue reading Week 4: Error resolution and begining of ontology matching

Week 5: Evaluate Instrument for Education – AGU Presentation/Meeting Report

Attending the Data Science Credentialing Editorial Board meeting at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) headquarter in Washington, D.C. this week had been a great, unique learning opportunity for me. The main purpose of the meeting was for the Board members to convene in person in order to continue their work Continue reading Week 5: Evaluate Instrument for Education – AGU Presentation/Meeting Report

Week 3: Initial efforts for improving annotation accuracy

After exploring the Linkipedia code thoroughly last week, I was able to identify the tasks performed by each module and the format of input sent to them. Specifically, I found out that the python code takes in a name and description, uses Stanford dependency parser on the description to extract Continue reading Week 3: Initial efforts for improving annotation accuracy

Week 3: Reproducibility of Script-Based Workflows

For this week, I continued to work on implementing queries by defining some generic queries, e.g.: for each sink node Y, compute all source nodes X that are in the lineage of Y similar: for each output node, compute all input nodes on which the output depends. Then I practiced more sophisticated queries such as Continue reading Week 3: Reproducibility of Script-Based Workflows

Week Three: Statistical Analysis of User Data

Week Three consisted of finishing up a working draft of the Literature Review and putting it on hold while we began the statistical analysis. First, I had prepared for the analysis in Excel, creating a timeline of each Member Node, and the important dates we’ll need for our sampling windows. Continue reading Week Three: Statistical Analysis of User Data

Week 4: Evaluate Instrument for Education – Evaluation Tool Design/Development Part 2

For this week, I continued to work on refining the questionnaire/survey evaluation tool that I started last week. Specifically, during last week, I was able to construct the outline for the questionnaire/survey as well as compile all the applicable evaluation questions and categorized the questions based on the different, corresponding Continue reading Week 4: Evaluate Instrument for Education – Evaluation Tool Design/Development Part 2

Week 2: Exploring Linkipedia

This week I explored the existing code for Linkipedia. Linkipedia consists of several endpoints that can be used to run it and I tracked down the workflow through all of them. The main objectives of this analysis were:  to understand the functioning behind each module of the system  to identify Continue reading Week 2: Exploring Linkipedia
