"Hundreds of dollars" sounds a bit painful as an EU engineer and entrepreneur :), but I guess it's all relative. We would think twice about investing this much manpower and compute for such an exploratory project even in a commercial setting if it was not directly funded by a client.
But your technical skill is obvious and very impressive.
If you want to read more, my old bachelor's thesis is somewhat related, from when we only had word embeddings and document embeddings were quite experimental still: https://ad-publications.cs.uni-freiburg.de/theses/Bachelor_Jon_Ezeiza_2017.pdf https://ad-publications.cs.uni-freiburg.de/theses/Bachelor_J...
I've done a lot follow-up work in my startup Scitodate, which includes large-scale graph and embedding analysis, but we haven't published most of it for now.

- b800h 2y agoAs an EU-based engineer, you wouldn't do this, it's a massive GDPR violation (failure to notify data subjects of data processing), which does actually have extraterritoriality, although I somehow doubt that the information commissioners are going to be coming after OP.
- stavros 2y agoProcessing comments on a forum being a violation of the GDPR? That's crazy, the OP is neither the data controller (HN is) nor a data processor on behalf of the controller. If you post your data in public, it's not a GDPR violation for people to use it for things.
