Technical Area Scraped thousands of articles Put articles into tf-idf model Tools Jupyter notebook BeautifulSoup BERT Selenium Soft Skills Broke down accomplishments in to presentable pieces Meetings 7/21/20 7/31/20 8/4/20 Goals for upcoming week Solve a couple last bugs for tf-idf Start the creation of BERT model Tasks Done During this week, I scraped data from the forum provided and researched the general outline of the BERT model. Furthermore, I did comprehensive research on word embeddings and TF-IDF, deciding to try the implementation of TF-IDF on the scraped data. I struggled with the implementation of TF-IDF, but I think I am near crossing that hurdle. This week has taught me the value of self-motivation. ---
