as in like, one dataset is reddit posts in general, while another set is posts from a sub for schizophrenics? and then write a tool that sees which given input is closer to?
yeah basically. also looking back on my notes this was actually the alternative project option offered, the first option was predicting suicidality based on reddit training data which is similarly bad
wow. just outright deciding on the most ethically questionable coursework
hmu privately if you wanna know who that professor was lol. but it could've been so many of them too, absolutely morally bankrupt field
