[11:00:50] <halfak>	 Hack day starts early for me. 
[11:00:53] <halfak>	 jetlag!
[13:43:14] <mavrikant>	 halfak:  about usernames;
[13:43:14] <mavrikant>	 I wanna solve (at least try) this problem myself.  but I stuck at feature extraction. What can be the meaningful features of  1 word?
[15:05:33] <halfak>	 I think we should (1) explore badword detection within word and implement word-breaking strategies like splitting the word at underscores, capitalization, punctuation, etc. 
[15:05:53] <halfak>	 mavrikant, ^ 
[15:05:57] <halfak>	 Sorry I missed your ping. 
[15:11:30] <halfak>	 mavrikant, we should be able to detect "Somewordthing<racialslur>someotherwords" but we'll have false positives.  That should be OK.  The machine can learn ways to operate around the falsepositives.  
[15:12:56] <halfak>	 E.g. "PublishIt" contains "shIt", but it also, two clear dictionary words account for all of the characters in the string.  I bet a learning model will note that duly. 
[16:23:13] <halfak>	 o/
[16:23:29] <halfak>	 I'm around for hacking today but I'm mostly focusing on paper review for CSCW 2018 
[16:23:31] <halfak>	 ugh.  
[16:23:36] <halfak>	 So many reviews all at once. 
[16:26:57] <glorian_wd>	 halfak: good luck!
[16:27:00] <glorian_wd>	 :)
[16:27:05] <glorian_wd>	 Godspeed
[16:28:34] <halfak>	 thanks
[16:28:46] <halfak>	 Painful, yet important work. 
[16:29:23] <glorian_wd>	 "painful, yet important work" this does apply to me right now as well ;)
[16:29:42] <glorian_wd>	 does apply to what I'm working on right now*
[16:37:09] <halfak>	 Hmm... I guess?  The world would be easier if everyone knew how to do everything and I could focus on myself.  Might be less fun though. 
[16:37:20] <halfak>	 Cutting firewood is also painful yet important work. 
[16:37:36] <halfak>	 But I'm not sure I want the firewood to cut itself. 
[17:15:52] <halfak>	 OK off to do yardwork.
