The Almost Drop-Out Diary: Week 2&3

Two weeks have passed(2024/05/27week, 06/03week) since I scheduled my move to the new apartment. Two weeks ago, I had four weeks to prepare for my progress review; now, only two weeks are left.

During these two weeks, I moved to the new place, organized everything, and bought a bunch of new stuff. I noticed I have way more stuff than I needed and decided to learn more about minimalism. In the future, I want to carry only the things I truly need.

My side projects went well, and I also caught up with my friends in Brisbane. I updated everything with my family. Everything is perfect except for my studies.

Tomorrow, I will have the routine weekly meeting with my supervisor, and I haven’t started working on the items we discussed this Monday. Well, I spent several hours studying SHAP values, but that’s far from enough.

Anyway, I need to list the items again and start working on them. I still have 12 hours…

  1. Outline of the progress report
  2. The complete draft of the route prediction problem
  • Obtain the policy learned
  • Calculate the feature importance
  • Reward calculation

3. More ideas on how to interpret the models
