One-Liner

Used an ERNIE trained on transcripts for classification; inclusion of pause encoding made results better.

Novelty

• Instead of just looking at actual speech content, look at pauses specific as a feature engineering task
• \(89.6\%\) on the ADReSS Challenge dataset

Notable Methods

Applied FA with pause encoding with standard .cha semantics (short pauses, medium pauses, long pauses). Shoved all of this into an ERNIE.

Assay for performance was LOO

A z-test is a hypothesis test for statistical significance between two sample proportions. Before it can be conducted, it must meet the conditions for inference for a z-test.

conditions for inference (z-test)

• has to be random
• has to be reasonably normal (vis a vi test for normality)
• each sample has to be independent (or 10% rule)

use a z-statistic to find p-value

1. Given a sample proportion, calculate the sample proportion standard deviation (given on the formula sheet)
2. Then, divide the difference between measured and null proportions to figure \(z\)

that is,

\(0\) is a list of length \(n\) whose coordinates are all zero

Formally—

\begin{equation} 0 = (0,\ldots,0) \end{equation}

A Zero-Sum Game happens during the following situation:

We have two distributions \(X\) and \(Y\). A “Zero-Sum Game” is a case where:

\begin{equation} P(success) = P(Y > X) \end{equation}

(because \(Y>X \implies X< Y\), so there’s no case whereby a situation can both “cause success”).

A zettlekasten is an atomic notetaking system.

Steps:

Lit notes

• brief: < 3 sentences
• write it in your own words

Reference notes

• Take reference notes?

Fleeting Notes

• shower notes

Permanent nodes

• Go through each notes from above, think about how it matters to your research
• Try to explicitly add value to existing ideas
• Try to find meaningful connection between ideas

finding connections

• How does this fit into what I know?
• Can this be explained?

find keywords

• not just to store a note, but how to retrieve it
• “in which circumstance will I need this note”
• “when and how will I need this idea”
