Lab Meeting, Spring 2015, Week 17

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

What we did over last week

Florian

Chigusa

Andrew

  1. Rewrote my code for processing HIT status notifications from Amazon SQS. The old version would take several seconds even if the queue was empty. The new version seems to take no more than a second even if there are dozens of messages, and milliseconds if it's empty.
  2. Started captioning Florian's Rutgers talk on the research page while I babysat Scott's MTurk experiments. The audio is pretty bad and if we want people to watch, it would help if you could make out more of what's being said. I've made it about 15 minutes in. In case anyone cares, I'm using AegisSub, which I'm liking so far.

  3. Hunted down video stimuli from our Yucatec experiments, converted it from AVI to MP4 (AVI = 3.7GB, MP4 = 230MB), and uploaded it to Box for the person who asked for them at Cornell.
  4. Rewrote my SPR conversion script before converting Scott's results (120 workers)
