Week notes — 10th August 2024

— Started the week by getting through 3 lectures from the CS224N course. On the one hand, they are hard work, on the other… you do the work for 90 mins and you have definitely ticked something off your task list, which is very gratifying.

— I need to develop a strategy for the final project on the course. The course offers a standard final project building on top of BERT, which I think I can follow and complete outside of the university context (ie without a tutor guiding me). There is also a ‘custom’ final project option where you can apply what you’ve learned on the course to a problem you are personally interested in. While I’d love to make the project part of an issue I’m interested in (Planning?) — the freedom this offers would make writing code that connects to the course materials too complex.

— I’ve written something about Tasks, Actions and AI agents.

— On the back burner, I have some thoughts about AI agents in the planning context, which, in the name of the discipline of not half finishing things, I’d like to get out in the next couple of weeks.
