Lab Meeting, Autumn 2016, Week 12

Awe- and Aw-inspiring readings (or just stuff you think deserves a mention)

Discovered rleid function from data.table package in R. Makes assigning temporary IDs to consecutive sequences of data trivially easy, even when the grouped factor repeats (I'm looking at you, MTurk workers). -LL

What we did over last week

Florian

1. Feedback on results reports to Zach (2), Wednesday (1)

2. Reviewed 1 (JML)

3. Letters about 3

4. Administration post-doc search, grad school queries

Xin

Andrew

1. So much RSRB crap
2. Finally found the cause of the NAS filling up; it was a built in intrusion prevention app that spews gigabytes of log files daily. Disabled it and deleted the logs. Will reenable with the misbehaving rule disabled once the disk is cleaned up.
3. Helped Xin get all the accounts and access to accounts she needs to get running on MTurk.

Jenn

Dan

Amanda

1. Gave my website a new look.

2. Ran some participants for Wes' project on Turk.
3. Edited Wes' NCUR abstract.
4. Finished writing a draft of my APF application, drafted a budget, and timeline. Science costs a lot of money, yo. Also, by the time we meet I'll have submitted it.
5. Thought more about uncertainty, realized I missed my chat with LL about it (sorry!), and met with Mike to plan out the first two pilots.

6. Skimmed Michael Tessler & Noah Goodman's paper on the pragmatics of generics for ESP.

Zach

Linda

Wednesday

1. Website is finally live! Still want to add some more in-depth descriptions about my research projects, but I have something up at least.

2. Graded exams
