What did you work on this week?
Carla did a lot of reading on the API’s we will need in order to extract information about companies and make sense of it. She also started coding the extraction of NYTimes info from articles. Jaideep did some research on MediaWiki and how to use it in order to set up our website with it. We have also been compiling info from companies in order to be able to trace back a specific product to its company. We have been organizing as well and selecting milestones we will like to achieve by the end of each week. Finally, we determined which software do we need and sent an email to Chris about it.
What problems did you run into?
The only problem we ran into is that the software needed was not installed on the lab computers. Also, Jaideep has been really busy with interviews and that has slowed us down.
What is the current overall project status?
I think the idea of what we want is pretty establish already. Also, the research made has been very helpful. We believe next week will be a very productive one.
What new ideas did you have? These ideas can be beyond the scope of this semester.
This week was mostly about making sure all the resources we need are in place.
The look ahead:
What is planned for next week?
Crawl the web with a couple API’s (probably NYTimes and BBC) and extract the information we will need. Set up the website with MediaWiki. Meet with Dr. Gill and Dr. Caverlee.
What received feedback will you be incorporating in the future?
Nothing yet.
