@singh029 is that a joke or a serious reference for the project?
-
@-vim- yup
-
@oudalally thank you so mucha again. Will dig in. I was thinking to break the project into smaller feasible units. Guess will try out with something small and workable.
Will post the updates. Thanks again. -
@adempus any particular ide or writer app u wanna develop this? Coz i was also thinking on similar lines for sublime text 2.0.2.
-
@Joehaz start with some online tutorials for java or csharp if u cant find one. Sky is the limit. All the best.

@oudalally wow! Thank you so much! You read my mind. You made my day!
I know and understand the helplessness at not being able to solve this challenge. But somehow my mind tells me it can be done.
I am remembered of alan turing of making the bombe machine in using it to predict the position of uboats. And this is what inspired me to think and ask myself " gee, those folks at the institutes know atleast 60% of the questions coming in the exam. And it takes then an year to do so. What if i can do that in days or seconds by a computer? All this computing power and no prediction. Common!."....
Looks like i need to dig deeper. What about deep learning?
Thank you so much once again. :) -
@Joehaz hi again. My suggestion is that if u wanna learn abt web programmin then u need to understand where everything fits. I did this with learning the birds eye view of a programming stack like LAMP architecture. Here L is for linux. A is for apache, the web server, M is for mysql and p is the server language i.e php. I was inspired to learn abt php after watching the social network. I just learned what php is. How i talks with mysql db. And how it outputs an html page. Thats how i learnt abt javascript where it just did little stuffs like scripting the forms data..etc. very minimal stuff. I refered to new bostons videos on youtube for this part of js. As it gave me an overview and how the vrowser objects interacted.
Next i learned .net i.e csharp in detail from a mentor. He taight me good, but learned oops in detail.
Then i touched nodejs and thats when i discovered it a lot more.
Learn java or csharp as its easy for oops. Js is hard for learnig oops in the beginner level. -
@gitreflog i fully agree with u. But that said i am not looking at 100 % accuracy. I am looking st 40%. I wish to key in various parameters. I mean to say this exam is an important one in India. And most of the senior folks or coaching institutes are able to predict with their 10 years of experience. I have found that there is a pattern based on my research and connections with people in the coaching industry who coach students to write this exam. Just dont know how to program this, thats all. Hmm. Anyways will try out something.

Javascript is hard of ur learning all the features like iterative programming... functional programming and god knows how many other it can support lols. If ur doing really small things like browser scripting, jquery etc.. then its no hard. It will take some time. But yeah moving to objected orientation is hard for beginners on js. Would suggest any other language other than js for that. So that u r concrete on ur basics. I myself learned oops on csharp and i knew basics of js back then. When i was comfortable, i jumped to oops in js and got screwed. But enjoyed it. Lols. It is challenging. Thats the word, not hard. All the best.

@oudalally ok! Wont post. Thanks for the suggestion.

@gitreflog. Thanks for the reply. As i was writing i came up with this plan.
1. Retrieve all newspaper articles of one respected newspaper. And dump that day wise ordered monthwise to a db. Do this for 10 years.
2. Take the old 10 years previous questions. And do some ml stuff and find out how both correlates. For example, if i have year 2012s questons i will find out where in the db the topics were triggered and on what date. And making the ml model understand this character.
3. Like this i will have 10 trends in a ml model.
4. Finally i do reverse. This time i give it like the latest one year newspaper articles. And this model will predict based on past experience characters the topics that might be triggered. Also, You can increase accuracy by removing topics that have come already. So the amount needed to study reduces drastically.
So what do u think? Any ideas? -
Wow thats is such sweet story indeed. I wish my sis understood this. After giving her a laptop with ubuntu she comes to after a week and says "I cant find the start button. Is this windows 8?". I can understand the start button part. But windows! Common sis. Its linux. Its on the top left side. Lols.
