Hello! My name is Ishaan Jain, a Information Technology undergrad at Manipal University Jaipur. I will be working on developing an information theoretic approach to filter out artificial information and real information in geospatial datasets for Xbitinfo during Google Summer of Code 2023.
What did I do this week?
This week, I focused on developing a function that automates a workflow for encoding, decoding, and comparing specific variables of the CONUS404 dataset. The primary objective of this function was to analyze and understand the presence of artificial information within the dataset.
To achieve this, I created a streamlined process that involved encoding the selected variables of the CONUS404 dataset, followed by decoding them. By comparing the resulting plots of the bitinformation from the original dataset, encoded dataset, and decoded dataset, I gained insights into the nature and origins of artificial information.
Overall, this week's accomplishments involved creating a function that automates the workflow of encoding, decoding, and comparing specific variables of the CONUS404 dataset. This function has proven to be a valuable tool in identifying and examining artificial information, leading to a deeper understanding of its origins and effects.
What is coming up next?
Will try categorizing factors leading to artificial information popping up and try to come up with a solution to tackle it.
