Welcome to statistics/data science/machine learning.

The hardest part is always getting the data into usable form. Its not as much fun as fitting models, but its definitely the majority of any role where people pay you to do this kind of stuff.

There's a lot of good research on forums (pm me if you want a bibliography i collected for a previous role), and short texts have become a bigger deal post Twitter. I completely agree with pg on the somewhat annoying nature of comments such as the GP.

Hey... Thanks for the offer! How can I contact you? I didn't know we can pm users over here.

I did have worked with ML before but mostly with images which are (IMHO) way easier to put in a format depending on the problem.
