In Term 2 Week 2 I was making my prototype of my presentation.
What did I do
I tried to implement a spider to fetch the news on The New York Times, and use beautiful soup to obtain the news article context, then I used spaCy to recognise named entities in the text, such as people, dates and places.
Next plan for next week
As my plan is to demonstrate an immoral usage of the NER algorithm, I wish I can find a library just like faker.js, so I can replace all the entities it recognised to a fake detail. Afterwards, I plan to make a visualisation tool that demonstrates the similarity between the original and the generated news article (similarity should be almost the same, which proves this usage is immoral as it provides rumour).
Why to do this in this week
I think making a prototype when the presentation is due in 4 weeks is necessary, therefore I can have enough time to complete my project + presentation.
Conclusion
I successfully managed my time in week 2, hope I can sort myself out in week 3 as well.
