Am I Learning? [2/5]

[jacobcarson877 2,559]

I like the Uncapped TPE package because it gives me an opportunity to actually claim some of the random thoughts I put out here regardless. I’ve been studying a lot of Natural Language Processing the last few days, and while I despise ChatGPT and all of it’s competitors, and I hate that every website has an annoying chatbot that doesn’t help you at all and takes up half of the screen, I am enjoying learning about how computers can be trained to understand our speech, even if we don’t follow any of the syntactic rules that were supposedly set out for us.

 

I do hope to be able to turn some of this learning into some fun VHL projects. I’ve said for a while I wanted to turn the full game commentary into some additional stats for us, but never really figured out the tools. I’m still pretty new to web crawling and parsing through HTML, and afterwards trying to figure it out algorithmically sounded like a nightmare. But using some NLP, and altering some existing models to take on some of the hockey-specific and VHL specific jargon properly offers an exciting option for me.

 

Still lots to learn, and I’m still hoping to do a traditional deep learning project for the VHL as well, but I’ll have to save that for next week’s article!
