Pre-Contemplation is the stage where individuals have no intention to change behavior in the foreseeable future. Many of them are unaware or under-aware of their problems. This stage is also…
Deep NLP Classifiers — CNN vs. RNN
In this blog, we will train multiple deep learning NLP classifiers to predict which kind of forum a post most likely comes from — dieting, eating disorders, general health or irrelevant forums. These models are baseline prompts waiting for better labeled training data. Please click here to help: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/joyqiu/edetectives.

Time Series 3 — Granger Causality Test
Let’s revisit the two time series (Figure 1) — weekly post submissions to eating disorders forums(‘ed’) and weekly post submissions to dieting forums(‘diet’). Our task is to reveal relationships between these time series and conduct granger causality test. Stationarity Before using cross-correlation function to explore relationships between two time series or conducting any temporal causality…
