When good annotations go bad

September 10: Rut-roh

I got up on time this morning and ate a breakfast of various vegetable/pork/chikuwa mixtures with miso soup and rice (I could just say that every day and I'd be right more than half the time I'm sure haha).  I got to work and started making the change that I talked about in my last blog that I didn't want to work.  And it worked. >_<  In a worse way than I could have imagined haha.  Basically, prior to making the change, my model had 9% prediction accuracy when using tags (the novel part) and when not using tags (old news).  This was too low, as regular LDA got 11% on the same dataset, and my model with no tags should be equivalent to LDA.  After the fix I did, the untagged accuracy went up to 11%!  Aaaand the the tagged accuracy stayed at 9%.  Shiiiitttt.....  Kabutoya-san wasn't at work today (he had warned me this time, yay~), so I couldn't confer with him about it, but I sure as hell am going to tomorrow. >_<  For the rest of the day I cleaned up my code, added more automation to my tests, fixed some things causing slow calculations in my model, and tested everything to within an inch of its life to try to understand what exactly what was happening that was giving me that now-rather-problematic 9%.

At lunch I ate hiyashi wakame ramen and played handiball, and was pretty bad. >_<  That was alright though, as I had a handiball game at 5:30 today and I redeemed myself there haha.  I could hardly help from laughing all throughout the game, as it's just so silly.  One girl actually recoiled and stuck out her arm when the ball was coming at her, only to have it shoot in between her face and arm and get stuck there hahahaha.  I feel a little sorry for her because everyone just howled while she took a visible fraction of a second before realizing what was going on. XD  Anyways, the handiball game was fun, and my team won (making it even better of course).

I walked home and ate dorm dinner of a fish and beef korokke with miso soup and rice.  It was pretty good, although somehow I failed at one point while eating the fish, and put a piece in my mouth and chewed, only to realize it had literally 18 (I counted) bones in it. D:<  That took a while to get sorted out.  I went back up to my room for FROZEN GRAPEFRUIT!!!  Yessss!!!  I need to buy more, as I am now down to my last one.  I sincerely hope grapefruit is good for you, because I have eating like, 10 in the last 8 days I think... O_O  It's pink, which means it's got antioxidants or something, I'm sure... >_>  While eating the grapefruit I watched the as-usual underwhelming GSL finals (StarCraft).  Apparently the first game was really good, but it was already over by the time I tuned in. D:<  Damnit!  I am actually blogging SO EARLY today that I may actually be able to SLEEP EARLY, which makes me SO EXCITED (or EXCITED EARLY, if you are a pattern-related compulsions)!  Anyways, I've told you what I ate, so I owe nothing more to you for today haha.

Night!
