P.S. love the slides: did you design the backgrounds yourself?

Is this comparing behavior before and after the abolishment of the one-child policy, or only after the policy was abolished?

• Nice research question, but what is your definition of "left over women"? Much of this must be endogenous which hinders interpretation
• Good computational methods.
• I like the combination of text analysis and machine learning.
• Nice horse race, but I don't know how to compare regressor to classifier.

Why your research questions are always so interesting? Do you have any advice for me?

1. The definition is Chinese women in their mid-20's to mid-30's who are not yet married. In my paper, I used the medium age (25 for female and 27 for male) at first marriage entry as a bar: late-marriage is defined as entering marriage after this medium age.
2. I first used regressor (age~variables), and performed prediction on the held out data, but the predictions were doing badly. So I changed the question into a classification question: 0 for not marrying late, 1 for marrying late. The prediction on the held out data were doing much better.

@bensoltoff This is only after the policy was abolished.

@w4rner

1. I would love to find an alternative way!
2. I used a online platform called Prezi. It's a very useful tool for making slides.

@yilundai 1). Remind me of the title & I can suggest re-write.

2). I've used Prezi, but have shown in web browser. You can export as static pdf?
