18:46:30 <randomuser> i'll probably leave for a bit soon, but will be back
18:46:47 <mpduty> sorry, couldn't participate for a long time
18:47:02 * jsmith will (mostly) be around for the next little while...
18:47:11 <randomuser> no worries - what have you been up to, mpduty ?
18:48:03 <mpduty> my final project for masters in computer applications
18:49:35 <randomuser> cool, what's the project?

18:53:59 <randomuser> #chair jsmith mpduty
18:53:59 <zodbot> Current chairs: jsmith mpduty randomuser
18:54:11 * jsmith sits down on the chair
18:54:24 * mpduty smiles
18:57:06 <mpduty> randomuser, the project is a sort of expert system to predict poll results
18:57:19 * Sparks is here but is on the phone
18:58:28 <mpduty> randomuser, using java, html, etc.
18:59:07 <bexelbie> mpduty, what are you using for your data corpus to train the system?
19:00:21 <mpduty> bexelbie, an actual survey made by survey workers
19:00:46 <mpduty> and also some fuzzy expert ratings
19:01:10 <bexelbie> mpduty, ahh ... interesting.  Predicting the same issue at a different time or a tangential issue?
19:02:03 <mpduty> bexelbie, I have tried it out with the recently concluded polls in India
19:02:27 <mpduty> so, what would you call it?
19:02:28 <bexelbie> Ahh, the Modi (sp?) victory?
19:02:57 <bexelbie> so you used pre-election polling to predict the actual election results?
19:03:05 <mpduty> bexelbie, :) it was not done for the whole country
19:03:13 <mpduty> only for some constituencies
19:03:24 <bexelbie> so partial pre-polling to predict final outcome?
19:03:33 <bexelbie> cool
19:04:16 <mpduty> it took one and half hours of computation for a single constituency, parsing and deciding for about 10 lakh voters
19:05:14 <bexelbie> ahh, your doing voter level analysis .. nice
19:06:17 <bexelbie> I wanted to run that on my neighborhood once
19:06:22 <bexelbie> ;)
19:10:46 * mpduty has taken a break to dig into the inventory in ansible
19:24:18 * mpduty is back and amazed at the huge and awesome inventory in ansible!
19:26:32 <mpduty> .localtime mohanprakash
19:26:33 <zodbot> mpduty: The current local time of "mohanprakash" is: "00:56" (timezone: Asia/Kolkata)
19:27:54 * mpduty waves goodbye
20:54:31 <randomuser> okay, i think we're done here
