Development Logs
AWS Cloud Captain
I selected as AWS Cloud Caption at my university, UET Lahore New Campus 🥳🥳🙌
I applied at start of previous month and was confused at the time that should I apply for it.
FYP
In Previous episode, I talk about model selection that, I have 2 options to pick model.
I had options for BART & FLAN T5, at last I went with FLAN T5.
Then, I have to collect dataset, so first I start with manually collecting data from Product Hutn & Y Combinator. It was time consuming task so I found a script that scraps data from ycombinator with some filter options. I run that script and collect data of ycombinator from W21 to onwards total 3k startups.
I also found ProductHunt api, it has some limitations but I was able to extract 1k startups from it. Overall data now contains 4k rows which is close to my target that is 5k.
But main problem starts from here, the dataset I collect is 50%, now I have to manually write recommendation business model, gaps/weaknesses, strengths and next steps recommendation for each idea based on my defined criteria which is time consuming task taking roughly about 7-10 minutes on each startup.
I only have 1 month left for data collection and before that I have to complete the annotation of data so I can train and see the progress of the model. Looking impossible right now.
And because of this week, I wasn’t able to focus on any other project as I didn’t get free time after complete my work.
YouTube
I wasn’t able to complete any project previous weekend so i got nothing to upload on YouTube. So previous week went without uploading anything on YouTube.
However, I did get some new ideas to work on, but this would be last week, after that i have mid exams so I have to prepare 2 videos.
