"Effort vs accomplishment" detector should flag "accomplishment" words with positive valence

ProfJanetDavis opened this issue · comments

@molliem and I discussed this on Slack. We are concerned that the Accomplishment words will clutter up the text-based report from the command-line tool. But they are necessary for visually explaining the computed ratio of Effort:Accomplishment words in the web interface.

The new effort-accomplishment detector is flagging a positive bias on accomplishments words. Is the old one? Depends on #82.

I think this is fixed, as of #73:

I think our detector paradigm needs some help (since not all of them fit smoothly into 'attributable' parts of speech), but that's for another Issue.

Thanks, @j6k4m8 ! I agree. We'll double check as part of addressing #82, and close this issue if appropriate.

Fixed in #83
