Lab Meeting, Spring 2016, Week 16

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

• Joe Fruehwald has a blog post with a really nice walk through of using list columns in dplyr (columns that can hold another data frame, a model output, etc.) with purrr::map for running the same model on subsets of data (like Wednesday showed us). -DK

What we did over last week

1. Ran an MTurk experiment from Scott that he told me about on Wednesday and had all the data by Friday afternoon
2. Fixed some code in my list balancer that got broken by Amazon changing an API limit
3. Helped Dave get a couple PostgreSQL databases set up for his new experiment backend

4. Started changes to my experiment runner to give it an API and make it a general experiment runner instead of two slightly out of sync copies of the same codebase; one for SPR experiments and one for SocAlign experiments

5. Looked through the docs and source for the Amazon MTurk API 1.7.0 for Java to see if it's worth using it instead of or in addition to boto. Short term probably not, but if boto3 never adds MTurk support (currently they have no plans to) and they never merge my patch for boto2 (looking increasingly unlikely after a year), then quite possibly it's worth it long term.
