6/30/23: Informal discussion and strategizing

Agenda and Minutes

 

Seattle Space Needle (Summer 2023)

1. Announcements

  • We will continue to meet weekly.

2. Updates/status reports

  • PT
  • AM
  • RS suggests a paper on ChatGPT. HA suggests OAS for a forum. AAS is also a possibility. RS suggests using it on space data, or kidney data. EG suggests seeing what the difference is between our answers and ChatGPT's answers. The effects of ChatGPT on education is a possible angle. We can discuss more next time. 
    • OAS deadline is Aug. 15, and the meeting is very close to OK City. The meeting has an engineering section that might be appropriate.
    • HA plans to suggest an outline for our next meeting.
  • EG has a draft of a paper on cancer IT/ensemble simulations and would like some comments. We could distribute it to the group and consider it for OAS or AAS... Maybe a focus on kidneys is possible? However it is tentatively planned for him to present it for comments and suggestions in the ML study group at 4:00 in a couple of weeks.

The meeting ended here.

 3. Reading and discussion

  • Readings:
    • For the "SatType scheme" page:
      • ... at https://www.planet4589.org  >  https://planet4589.org/space/index.html  >  https://planet4589.org/space/gcat/web/intro > https://planet4589.org/space/gcat/web/intro/type.html. We got up to the "Byte 7" section, and can start there next time.
      • We could also do another documentation related to the astronauts analysis. Most germane would be https://planet4589.org/space/astro/web/missions.html.
    • Kidneys: we read up to Section 4, "Future Directions" and can start there next time, from https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/9/2/572.
    •  We earlier started: https://www.newthingsunderthesun.com/pub/4xnyepnn/release/9. We read up to "In their paper, firms use these technologies to produce a fixed amount of output every period." MC later requested putting our comments in the minutes for later review - good idea. Maybe we can time share across 2 readings next time, and thus get to some material from this source.
    • https://towardsdatascience.com/understanding-auc-roc-curve-68b2303cc9c5 might be good to read at some point. We should evaluate that.
  • Here are some generic questions about articles (and videos):
    • What is the source?
    • What is the most significant advance in the human knowledge presented in the paper?
    • Why is that advance important?
    • What important questions arise from the paper for future research?
    • What important questions would it be nice if the paper answered, but does not answer?
    • What does the paper present that is novel (no one else has provided that before)?
    • What is the relevance of the paper to our satellite research goals?
    • Questions from the group?

 4. Completed readings include numerous prior items as well as these:

    • 5/12/2023: We read https://planet4589.org/space/astro/web/astrolist.html and looked at https://planet4589.org/space/astro/lists/astro.html for examples. It appears that the date of the first flight for each astronaut is NOT given, even though the rows are in chronological order!
    • 3/17/23: We read https://planet4589.org/space/astro/web/astrolist.html.
    • We finished section 6 of MR paper (C:\Users\jdberleant\Dropbox\research\SpaceTravelMetric-b6-5-16\PapersAndPresentations\byOthers\MatthewRoughanDraft.pdf). This completes the parts that we planned to read. 
    • Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9o66fH_sgo (about MOXIE device which converts CO2 to oxygen). We then read a bit more about MOXIE on wikipedia.
    • Https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/07/we-need-new-science-progress/594946 on "progress studies." Completed 9/30/22.
    • Ryan et al., "A Forgotten Moment in Physiology: the Lovelace Woman in Space Program (1960-1962)", 2009. Completed 7/22/22.
    • Various previous papers.

 

6/23/23: Plans for OAS or AAS? + More reading on the kidneys paper

A sailing plane (could never fly!). At the Museum of Transportation, Owls Head, ME, June 2023.

1. Announcements

  • We will continue to meet weekly.

2. Updates/status reports

  • PT has almost finished tuning the hyperparameters.
  • AM has obtained the necessary data.
  • RS suggests a paper on ChatGPT. HA suggests OAS for a forum. AAS is also a possibility. RS suggests using it on space data, or kidney data. EG suggests seeing what the difference is between our answers and ChatGPT's answers. We can discuss more next time.

6/16/23: Reading from Planet4589 documentation

Agenda and Minutes


An "ornithopter" made with real feathers. At the Museum of Transportation in Owls Head, ME, summer 2023.

1. Announcements

  • We're starting up again and will meet weekly.

2. Updates/status reports

  • Student updates: PT has almost finished tuning the hyperparameters.
  • Any other updates?

3. Reading and discussion

  • Readings:
    • We did not read about kidneys because of the attendance profile. We earlier read from https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/9/2/572, up to "Finally, Table 4 provides a summary" in section 3.
    • We continued discussing the "SatType scheme" page 
      • ... at https://www.planet4589.org  >  https://planet4589.org/space/index.html  >  https://planet4589.org/space/gcat/web/intro > https://planet4589.org/space/gcat/web/intro/type.html. We got up to the "Byte 7" section, and can start there next time.
      • NOTE: the "SatType scheme" page describes the column labeled "Type" in the relevant tables, particularly https://planet4589.org/space/gcat/data/cat/satcat.html (thanks to Planet4589 for clarifying this a bit in the documentation).
    • We earlier started: https://www.newthingsunderthesun.com/pub/4xnyepnn/release/9. We read up to "In their paper, firms use these technologies to produce a fixed amount of output every period."
