Weka: "Train and test set incompatible"

Scenario: A training and test set, both .csv files. Weka does not like. Deems them incompatible.
Search engine magic fail: According to Google, the attribute names are out of order. If you, like me, spent hours staring at them side by side as a .csv file and seeing no difference in order, spelling, spaces, etc., do not fret like I did!

SOLUTION:

1. Open both training and test set files in Weka and save as .arff files.
   
2. Open them with a plain text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, etc.).
3. Check the nominal attributes (i.e. not numerical), which Weka has put into arrays of this format: {..}.
   
4. Compare the attribute arrays of the training file against test set. The order depends on how they appear in the file, so just rearrange the arrays in both training and test set for matching attribute arrays. It should now run without throwing an "incompatible" error.

my little airport indie悲歌 Lyrics English Translation

my little airport - indie悲歌 (indie lament) English Translation

Chinese lyrics: my little airport
English translation by z.ky. Do not reproduce without permission.

Professional musicians, they don't want indie music to take part,
Similar to rich people, will always ignore our poor hearts.

But I don't mind, although my heart is full of bruises, mainstream media is full of darkness.

Hating your people, will only continue to make you rage,
Liking your people, won't cause everyone to surface.

But you keep walking on, there's no point in asking how far, there will always be those who stay with you.

I want this song, to reach the airwaves, get the DJ to air a different sound.
But they have no sense of responsibility, I'm lucky if they air it, I can only blame my sound for sucking,
I can only blame my company for lack of funds,
I will never reach the public.

Even if I can't be popular, I want to carry on.
If I put out a CD, remember to help out.


Note: The woes of indie artists, humourously laid out. Buy their CDs!!

Not Quite That Cute

I'm a bit late because the collection already came out yesterday, but the promo pic for MAC Quite Cute just looks like second-rate 6%DOKIDOKI. And check out that distracting mod feel going on around her midriff.

As for the collection itself, I'm not a MAC slave and I don't wear any of those colours. LOOK! It's an anti-summary!

The promised layout overhaul will probably happen in late May.

my little airport - 馬田的心事 (Martin's Emotional Worries) English Translation

Chinese lyrics: my little airport
English translation by z.ky. Do not reproduce without permission.

I, really want, really want to call you.
I, really want, really want to call you.
But I know, if I, really do call you
You would, be afraid that I want to meet you.

I don't want, you to know, I want you.
I don't want, you to know, I want you.
If you knew, that I really, really want, really want you,
You would lose purpose when doing anything.

The more I want you, the more I hate you,
The more I want you, the more I hate you,
For what do you abandon me?

At the turn of the stairs,
I can only spy on you,
At the side of the fridge in the tea room,
We brush by each other.
Your eyes, your hair, your height,
I don't dare to take a peek.

The more I want you, the more I want you,
I lose purpose when doing anything.
The more I want you, the more I hate you,
For what do you abandon me?

The more I hate you, the more I get angry,
Why don't you surprise me?
The more I get angry, the more narrow-minded I get,
For what do I reminisce of you?

my little airport - 我愛官恩娜，都不及愛你的哨牙 (I Love Ella Koon, But Not As Much As Your Rabbit Teeth) English Translation

Chinese lyrics: my little airport
English translation by z.ky. Do not reproduce without permission.

(Eww, you like Ella Koon?)

Could it be that you no longer like me?
You don't even call me when we meet,
Could it be that you no longer care about me?
Walking straight past when we meet.

Actually I already like you a lot,
I don't bother much with anyone else,
Actually I already admire you a lot,
I think of you when watching TV.

Even if I like Ella Koon, it can't compare to your rabbit teeth,
Even if I like Denise Ho, it can't compare to your French poetry.

If you really like me this way,
You shouldn't give up on me until the end,
Could it be that you like whoever you see?
You see ten of them every month.

We share the music, in the street, on the bed.
We don't need to talk, and hand in hand, like this, just you and me, together, forever.

Even if I like Fiona Sit, it can't compare to your frown,
Even if I like Cecilia Cheung, she isn't as cute as you.

Even if I like Ella Koon, it can't compare to your rabbit teeth,
Even if I like Denise Ho, it can't compare to your French poetry,
She isn't as cute as you, she isn't as genuine as you.


Notes: What do you think of my translation of the French part? "On partage la musique, dans la rue, sur le lit. On n'a pas besoin de parler, et la main dans la main, comme ca, juste toi et moi, ensemble, toujours." The ladies mentioned are all Cantopop singers.

my little airport 和陳五msn Lyrics English Translation

my little airport - 和陳五msn English Translation

Chinese lyrics: my little airport
English translation by z.ky. Do not reproduce without permission.

I love you,
I want to bring you home,
I don't have to wait for you,
I don't have to wait for you on MSN.

I want you,
I want to link arms with you,
Link arms with you on this night,
Walk down a street with closed eyes,
You think of this as a game to test the other person's confidence.

There's no future in this world,
I'm so bored I could explode,
I want to move abroad with you,
I think,
We should go to Vietnam together and eat fishballs,
I think,
We should go to the moon and fish for rabbitfish,
I think, we should go to, go to, go to...
Actually, I know you're not happy,
Actually, I know you don't want to be alone,
Actually, I don't want to be alone either,
I think, we should get married,
But after getting married we must live separately and sleep separately,
Then you'll ask "Then why must we get married?"
I think marrying a stranger would bring happiness.

There's no future in this world,
There's no change to be had here,
I want to move abroad with you,
Maybe we don't need true love,
Maybe we just need to go to Knutsford Terrace now and again,
Maybe we just need new love.


Notes: I'm disappointed to admit that I really have no idea what the title conveys, especially the "五". If anyone could enlighten me, it would be great. Knutsford Terrace is a street in Hong Kong famous for its bars, pubs and variety of restaurants.

LMF 返屋企 Lyrics English Translation

LMF - 返屋企 (Returning Home) English Translation

Chinese lyrics: OIKTV
English translation by z.ky. Do not reproduce without permission.

Na na...

That hangout, the story of returning home
Does Hong Kong still count as our home?
Try stepping in someone else's shoes, think of how it is for us
How come everyone puts themselves down, to the ground
After '97 the expats packed up and flew home
Leaving behind you dejects to turn on yourselves
Ah~ despised no matter where you go
After being threatened, crawl back dejected
After the storm has passed, people still only look after themselves
No sense of direction, only speculation
Yet they keep building expensive flats, though no one lives in them, they keep building
They won't let you move in, you think they'll drag you up?
Even the privileged sigh, they've got no morale
Even putting on a show is a waste of time
How can today's Hong Kong compare to before?

No matter how far you go, you must return home
This is the where you were brought up
No matter how far you go, you must return home
Don't forget, don't forget
No matter how far you go, you must return home
This is the where you were brought up

No matter how far you go, remember to return home
Don't get mad, don't despair

Thinking back to when I was small, the whole family
Eating as one at the fold-up table
With the TV as company, watching EYT
But now everyone eats their own way
Finish up quickly, go to your room to use ICQ
The family from before now live under the Lion Rock
Look at things now, everyone with lofty ideals
Ask your kid who's Wai Yik-shun
He doesn't know, he just knows a Chan Yik-shun
The songs from before were kinda fun to sing, we were hanging on under the Lion Rock
Now the Hong Kong of today just doesn't look right
Hong Kong has no roots, Hong Kong people have no sense of belonging
No matter what you higher-ups say, your words are empty
The ones with money spout lies
The citizen's everyday life keeps degrading
Worse comes to worst, everyone's just waiting to die
Don't blame me for turning my back, every second every night

No matter how far you go, you must return home
This is the where you were brought up
No matter how far you go, you must return home
Don't forget, don't forget
No matter how far you go, you must return home
This is the where you were brought up
No matter how far you go, you must return home
Don't get mad, don't despair

Na na...

Too many words, how to express
Everyone has their own choices, no matter how casual
Who wouldn't want to stay by their family? Who to ask and converse with?
How many years are there?


Notes: The very last stanza is slightly off because I don't do well with formal style written Chinese. This song is a criticism of post-British occupation Hong Kong. It features lots of iconic imagery of working-to-middle class Hong Kong families. Wai Yik-shun was the Chinese name of Sir David Wilson, a British governor-general in Hong Kong, while Chan Yik-shun (same forename) is a Cantopop singer. EYT, or Enjoy Yourself Tonight (歡樂今宵) was an entertainment program. Here is a cultural note on Lion Rock:

"‘Lion Rock’ has a significant meaning for every Hong Kong citizen. It witnesses the development of Hong King from the 60s. The spirit of people under the Lion Rock is one of the most important elements for the success of Hong Kong. Although HK people have faced many ups and downs in the past, they are still living happily under difficulties." - artblogHK - Anybody left under the Lion Rock? by OC Gallery

24HERBS 照做 Feat. Jin Lyrics English Translation

24HERBS - 照做 (Keep Going) Feat. Jin English Translation

Chinese lyrics: Gugalyrics
English translation by z.ky. Do not reproduce without permission.

KIT:
I believe in spirit, I believe the heavens never leave a man without a way out
I believe that if we keep on going, we can do it
Take a heavy step on an endless road
Even if reality is harsh, look to the heavens
Survival's the sound of a battlefield
Cast off weakness with every step, learn to stay strong
Nothing you see will last forever, use every passing opportunity to develop your talent
Every person's life is a different script
Every person wants to stand out from other people
Why do people look down on you, how to get people to look up to you
How stay true to yourself in this society
Be strong, step out with your own attitude
Know that this narrow path will eventually lead to an open road
What will happen tomorrow, no one knows
All we know is to step out right now and do it

Keep going, we have our own path to take
Keep going, we have our own approach

*repeat once

PHAT:
A sliver of time equals a sliver of gold
Wherever you fall, stand back up at that spot
Don't be naïve, you can't wait for gold,
Once a chance comes by you must grab it
Failure won't make me lose heart, even if the road in front is long
Overcome fear, face it with courage, fight for your own success
With your own identity, defend your own duty
Like soldiers carrying out their objective in the midst of danger
In the face of enemies, about to die, yet keeping composure
You know you can do it (I know I can do it)
If I keep going, it's gonna be ok
As long as you're brave enough to try
If you're sincere it won't be too late, so all together let's keep going

(Drunk, Ghost Style and JBS parts)

JIN:
This story teaches you to persist
Jin Au-Yeung, born on June 4th
First three phrases at 13 were "yo yo yo"
"If I wanna be an MC, gotta take the first step"
Hip hop and don't stop, it's my number one
I definitely won't regret choosing this road
So I spend every day in the studio, improve with every minute, every second
When I reminisce I remember so clearly
Having rapped for many years,
New friends don't understand, locked in my room just holding a pen
Just muddling around,
Parents told me, how about piano lessons
I love you mom and dad, more than you ever know
Even without support, I'll still keep going

Keep going, we have our own path to take
Keep going, we have our own approach

*repeat x3


Note: Jin's part is not in the official lyrics, which explains the gaps (I can't hear/understand) but I used earphones! Poetic license has been applied. This is my first attempt at lyric translation. Feedback is awesome.

P.S. I'm in the process of translating LMF lyrics!

-Black Swan

First of all, there was some douchebag sitting behind me who exhaled really loudly and was shuffling around or scratching his ass or something, hitting the back of my chair in the process. Cinema-goers, BE CONSIDERATE! Or else people will insult you on their blogs! That's the only audience-related thing worth mentioning. Oh wait, there were more than a few senior citizens there. I wonder what they thought of the...raunchier scenes. Take note, there are NO SPOILERS in this entry as usual.

Natalie Portman was so intense, she truly deserves all of the awards she gets. I really admire the training and work she went through for this role. She is painfully skinny and very frightful and tortured-looking. Secondly, I was genuinely scared at some points. Her house is creepy, the lighting is creepy, her mum is creepy, mirrors are creepy...Aronofsky does the thing a lot where the character stupidly doesn't look into a room before entering and closing the door, only to get a shock when he or she turns around. Except it works. I jumped at least twice. I didn't know that Winona Ryder is in this film, by the way. She's so underrated. Something about her makes me not want to take her seriously in almost every movie she's in (lol, Edward Scissorhands, Heathers...) but I completely do. She was in one of my favourite movies ever though, Girl, Interrupted.

Anyway, I was most impressed with the camerawork (duh). It's kind of weird that I'm so obsessed with camerawork. I am by no means a connoisseur, I don't know the proper names or techniques or anything. But I cannot help but notice how the camera is used, unless the movie is full of amusing teenage characters who use pseudo-quirky vocabulary, like Juno, Adventureland or Scott Pilgrim.

This movie is very good and worth watching, even if (like me) you decide not to watch it again afterwards (it's not really my type of movie). Mila Kunis fits into her role effortlessly, the music is great and loud, the ballet looks painful, the light gore is way more effective than the Saw-esque "hey look this dude's stomach is being hacked open and you can see his guts! this is completely not a realistic situation and does not scare me!", instead choosing to amplify Portman's haggard breathing while she rips a hangnail off (OUCH!!!!). It is often highly uncomfortable to watch, not unlike Hard Candy starring Ellen Page. The CGI work (warning: spoilers) almost finds its way to realism, Rodarte (love!) designed the costumes and I will probably have nightmares tonight.

Go and watch it. It must be experienced.


Am I back fr rl? I don't know. This entry may disappear sometime in the near future. I'm really bad with persistency on the web. Sorry.
