Works nicely.<br /><br />Started the new and improved (i.e. GPU version) word count functions this weekend.<br /><br />Figured out a new and better question to ask. Rather than asking the political sway of an article - which is too hard to even ask humans to label - my tool will try to determine the source of an article (CNN, FOX, etc), which is sort of the same question, but easier to annotate.<br /><br />Started thinking of how to parallelize the learning algorithm.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4468942559187233375-689037590941418605?l=gpupolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Catherine Stockerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05985667587693551798noreply@blogger.com42tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468942559187233375.post-10365506385962907512008-04-08T09:39:00.000-07:002008-04-08T09:44:17.572-07:00Wrote a word count program on the cpu this weekend. Turned out to be not what the doctors ordered....<br /><br />Started over last night. Wrote the beginnings of a tokenizer on the gpu. My emulator at home was giving me problems, spent a while debugging. <br /><br />Hoping to finish the tokenizer + get a tagged corpus this week.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4468942559187233375-1036550638596290751?l=gpupolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Catherine Stockerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05985667587693551798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468942559187233375.post-51804042727180363672008-03-31T14:50:00.000-07:002008-03-31T14:58:40.092-07:00Well here I go with my first blog...<br /><br />This blog is being set up for my <a href="http://www.seas.upenn.edu/%7Ecis665">CIS665 </a>course at the <a href="http://www.upenn.edu">University of Pennsylvania</a>, where I am currently a 3rd PhD student in the <a href="http://www.hms.upenn.edu">Center for Human Modeling and Simulation</a>.<br /><br />As required by the class, this blog will track the trials and tribulations of my project, titled "Are you an Obama girl? A GPGPU classification of semantic orientation in political articles." A complete explanation of the thesis of this project will be posted soon.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4468942559187233375-5180404272718036367?l=gpupolitics.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Catherine Stockerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05985667587693551798noreply@blogger.com0
