Background:
Watch the entire CSAFE webinar (including questions at the end) posted here. (The actual presentation starts about 7 minutes in.) While you are watching, keep in mind the following questions to respond to when you’re finished:
- What data do Hare et al use?
- In what ways do the methods used by Hare et al differ from the “traditional” methods of bullet matching?
- How do Hare et al use clustering to help perform bullet matching tasks?
- Identify one statistics and/or probability concept in the presentation that you have not heard of before. Do a little bit of research (Googling/Wikipedia is ok) and try to describe it to someone who doesn’t know about it. You should also consult this paper to see if there is more detail on your chosen topic than is presented in the webinar. (Hint: Control + F is useful…) You don’t need to read the whole paper.
Respond to all of these questions in a blog post. Remember, length of response is not as important as how well and how clearly you communicate your well-formed thoughts in the response. Please avoid run-on sentences. The format of the response is up to you: try to put your personal twist on it! This is the last assignment we have for you. Make it your best one yet!
