PROJECTS The projects done at Software Studies Initiative use computational and data visualization methods to study big visual cultural data. We combine research questions and theories from humanities and media studies with the concepts and techniques from computer science and computational social science. The following is a selection of our projects (2008-present) organized by type of data: Art and Design:MondrianRothko.viz | Comparing evolution of Mondrian and Rothko | Lev ManovichModernArt.viz | From realism to abstraction, 1848-1917 | Lev ManovichvanGogh.viz | exploring Vincent van Gogh paintings with ImagePlot | Lev ManovichGoogle.viz | Design variations in Google logos, 1998-2009 | Jeremy Douglass Film, Video, TV, Motion Graphics:PoliticalVideoAds.viz | 2008 U.S. N^3 Report | mapping 28 years of TV newsArt Objects as Data Points | 200,000 images in UCSD art libraryMySpace.viz | tracking visual conversations in social networks
openesignforms - Open eSignForms is the first open source electronic contracting software Open eSignForms™ is the first free and open source, web contracting software application (on-premise) and SaaS (hosted). Yozons was the first to create an entirely web-based e-signature platform (no need for digital certificates, plugins, etc.) with its Signed & Secured™ service released in June 2001, with GE Capital as its first major customer just a few months later. Open eSignForms can help your school, non-profit, medical facility, or business go green by improving on your paperless activities. Just use any of our free forms to help with secure document delivery with external parties and e-docs to storing files and scanned paperwork (fully encrypted) for your own secure access from anywhere in the world. NOTE: In January 2014, for lack of any valid reason, Google discontinued the download feature here, which of course was the main way our open source users have retrieved the code for non-programmer use.
Weka 3 - Data Mining with Open Source Machine Learning Software in Java Weka is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks. It contains tools for data preparation, classification, regression, clustering, association rules mining, and visualization. Found only on the islands of New Zealand, the Weka is a flightless bird with an inquisitive nature. The name is pronounced like this, and the bird sounds like this.
Why H2O? H2O is for data scientists and business analysts who need scalable and fast machine learning. H2O is an open source predictive analytics platform. Unlike traditional analytics tools, H2O provides a combination of extraordinary math and high performance parallel processing with unrivaled ease of use. H2O speaks the language of data science with support for R, Python, Scala, Java and a robust REST API. 1. The way of the program — How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python 2nd Edition documentation The goal of this book is to teach you to think like a computer scientist. This way of thinking combines some of the best features of mathematics, engineering, and natural science. Like mathematicians, computer scientists use formal languages to denote ideas (specifically computations). Like engineers, they design things, assembling components into systems and evaluating tradeoffs among alternatives. Like scientists, they observe the behavior of complex systems, form hypotheses, and test predictions.
Students - Guide to Technical Development - Google Careers This guide provides tips and resources to help you develop your technical skills (academically and non-academically) through self-paced, hands-on learning. This guide is intended for Computer Science students seeking an internship or university grad role at Google. What this guide is for
Lev Manovich - Media Visualization: Visual Techniques for Exploring Large Media Collections Download PDF Excerpt: We need techniques which would allow us to observe vast “media universes” and quickly detect all interesting patterns. These techniques have to operate with speeds many times faster than the normally intended playback speed (in the case of time-based media.) How to Run Android Apps on Your Desktop the Easy Way Ever feel like running an Android app on your Windows machine? Using BlueStacks, you can easily get apps from your Android device to your desktop or laptop without any complicated set up or fussing with the Android SDK. Android Apps on Windows BlueStacks is essentially a self-contained virtual machine that runs Android apps on your Windows 7 computer. While it’s still in alpha, it’s surprisingly stable, pretty novel, and constantly improving.
Card Design This document goes over how to follow Glass style and implement common UI best practices when using the GDK. Glass theme Glass applies a standard theme to your Glassware, so it stays consistent with the rest of the user interface. Frontiers of Computational Thinking: A SXSW Report—Stephen Wolfram Blog Last week I spoke at SXSW Interactive 2015 in Austin, Texas. Here’s a slightly edited transcript: A Most Productive Year Well, hello again.
