Development Progress
What's changed this week? Truthfully, not much.
I went ahead and set up the domain name devpodcasts.app. Ultimately, I still think a nicely refactored version of the functionality belongs in qit but thanks to Netlify's free hosting I figure there isn't a compelling reason not to leave the proof-of-concept up as it's own thing as well. It's free, fast, and gives me something to experiment with so...why not?
I added Chart.js, but it really doesn't add much value to the site so I'll probably be removing it soon.
Finally, onto the hard part. I took a stab at running the podcast descriptions through Azure's Text Analytics but it didn't do very well with technical terms. I also read up on a few machine learning classification algorithms but there is some required training and it sounds like ~10,000 records is probably not enough data to work with anyway.
So, what can I do?
I'm planning on attempting to classify some number of episodes myself. I'll read through the descriptions and come up with relevant tags myself. After that, perhaps I can loop through the tags and attempt to match other episodes automatically. The downside to this approach is that I'll only be able to find episodes that mention those tag terms in their title or description. It's not a great approach, but maybe I'll figure something better out along the way.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

How can I help?
Have an idea for how to automatically "tag" episodes based on their content?
For example, as a human, I know that episodes about "Kubernetes" are also probably about "DevOps". However, I would like to be able to come up with an algorithm to figure stuff like this out for me.
I am data science illiterate, but I feel like there has to be somebody out there that has solved this problem before...and much more elegantly than I am planning :)
