Update November 10

After our last meeting, the entire team agreed on a direction for the metric. The students agreed that the most interesting approach would be to go the way of natural language processing for analyzing the reviews and descriptions of applications in the Google Play store.

At this step, the team is tasked with finding the tools to perform the natural language processing as well as writing a script to crawl the relevant websites and gather data for processing. We will meet again in the next week or so to discuss our progress on these tasks.

Update October 28, 2014

After a good few weeks of research, the team has started to discuss the details about the nature and qualities we would like in a metric to have. Dr. Zheng has given us more papers to read and discuss. These take a more modern approach to the analysis of the data on top of traditional statistical methods.

The students have expressed much interest in the approaches. We will be meeting again this Friday to discuss the new papers and hopefully the direction for the rest of the semester.

Meeting Minutes

Last week, the group got together to discuss the project progress and details. The students were given papers to read. At this step we are working to think about aggregation of existing reputation metrics as well as thinking about the development of our own metrics that can be put into practice.

Our goal is to meet every two weeks as we discuss research and implementation.

IRB approval

Hello,

Today we received the approval of the New Mexico Tech IRB to proceed with the user study. Tomorrow we will have a meeting to discuss an appropriate location; hopefully we will have many participants, as this week is "dead week", when everything is due and such. I will update tomorrow on the proceedings of the meeting.

- Eunice.

All the Updates

Hello,

Last week the Student Research Symposium occurred in our school, where students presented their research. Danny and I presented a poster for our project; it was my first time presenting. I enjoyed it!


Nonetheless, after a week of filling out the correct forms and typing the process of the user study PLUS the affiliated papers, we got to submit our application to the IRB. Hopefully they will be able to review the documents and reply to us soon, as the semester is coming to a close. For now, Danny and I will be eagerly waiting for the approval.

Until then.
- Eunice.
