Not Much to Report

Not much has happened, sent an email to the creators of the code that has been the bane of our existence. We await their response. Hopefully everything is sorted out soon its been too stressful honestly. Also, here is a photo of a good boi splooting

The Feedback Alternative

After countless days we finally decided to contact the competitors in order to find a work around. In contacting us back, we were told that we needed to run their code on a machine that has at least 256 GB of RAM and 20 CPU cores. This was completely crazy since we had no accessContinue reading “The Feedback Alternative”

Why You No Run?

The competition code problems still haven’t been resolved. Our supervisor recommended that we should email the creators to see if they could provide assistance. Hopefully they respond soon. We attempted splitting the files but that didn’t help at all.

Sepsis Definition and Code Debugging

Many hours this week was spent at dissecting the competition’s code to verify their results on our datasets, even having sought out the assistance of some Master students and the University who are well versed in neural networks to aid in fixing as well as documenting their code in an attempt to discover what someContinue reading “Sepsis Definition and Code Debugging”

Why Won’t it Work!

We can’t seem to get the competition code to run, it keeps throwing random errors not sure exactly what the problem is. It is so poorly documented and messy. Hopefully we figure it out soon. Also getting doctors to review the method they utilized to predict sepsis to get feedback so we know what toContinue reading “Why Won’t it Work!”

The Constant Confusion

Still no word from the physician’s yet so we decided to take another crack at running the competition’s model. Their code mainly failed at the data pre-processing stage. We received tons of errors and warnings for improper use of pandas methods on the data frames and spent most of our nights Googling how to fixContinue reading “The Constant Confusion”

Keeping Strong!

So I successfully got sick. I was unable to do anything all weekend. Had a terribly sore throat and fever that would not go away. However, I was all better by Tuesday and was able to continue my readings on ODEs and understanding sepsis to have a better understanding of which patient information would beContinue reading “Keeping Strong!”

Code Confusion

Much time was spent attempting to run the competition’s code. However, after leaving their code running for over an entire day a compilation error over a column name. Stunted progress of running their code for comparison. As looking through their notebooks and code, showed barely any documentation and some utterly confusing logic in their code.

The Competition’s Code Dissonance

After getting advice from our supervisor we took another shot at attempting to run our competitors code . In this run we actually made it past the point that we were last week but it still wasn’t enough. Additionally we contacted a physician for assistance in predicting sepsis . This physician assessed the competitors codeContinue reading “The Competition’s Code Dissonance”

The Unorganized Repository

In addition to researching more neural network models, I’m learning about the recurrent neural networks the most. This week was mainly about running our competitors code, but in looking at the code repository on GitHub it was very messy and unorganized . A lot of time went into actually ripping apart the Python files andContinue reading “The Unorganized Repository”
