Social Hack Day #64

claude.iconThe chat logs indicate that the Social Hack Day gathering included a trial of broad listening tools such as Polis and Talk to the City (TTTC) and related work and discussions. The main events and the know-how gained are summarized below.

Major events:.

  • Polis and TTTC trial and description
  • Attempt to run TTTC on Google Colab
  • Prepare data and address related issues (encoding, NaN values, etc.)
  • Discussion of how to display and publish results
  • Discussion on how to manage FAQs

Reusable Know-how:.

  • Polis use:.
    • Onboarding is easy because you can try it out as an administrator simply by registering an account.
    • It is effective to experience the voting side in the sample and then try the admin side.
  • Using TTTC:.
    • Google Colab can be used to reduce the time and effort required to build the environment.
    • It is good to separate the analysis on your own data from the run on sample data.
    • Google Drive mounts are useful for persistence of results.
  • TTTC Data Preparation:.
    • When outputting CSV from Excel, care must be taken with encoding and data type.
    • Try to save in UTF-8.
    • Determine in advance how to process NaN values.
  • Error handling:.
    • Encoding-related errors can be checked and corrected with the appropriate editor (e.g., Cursor).
    • Errors due to LLM return format mismatches may be avoided by changing the model (e.g., from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4).
  • Result publication:.
    • Easily publishable using GitHub Pages.
  • Document Management:.
    • Choose a management location for information such as FAQs, taking accessibility and ease of updating into consideration.
    • A method of regularly transcribing Slack discussions into a structured document such as Notion is effective.
  • Tutorial design:.
    • It is easier to understand if you explain basic operations on sample data and analysis on your own data separately.

These know-how may be useful for similar projects and technology implementation in the future. In particular, useful insights have been gained on how to prepare and explain the work to a team that includes non-engineers.
