I2C Connection Working!

URL: I2C Connection Working!
Been a while since the last post! Here it goes!   We currently have three students working on the project. We had a fourth last spring, but she has since graduated. For the rest of us left, we now have specialized tasks to help move the project forward on all sides. Here the specialized tasks:   Courtney Allen (HCI) works on the physical components of the circuit. Noah Sutter (CS) works on the programming for the buttons and LEDs. Sarah Schoemann (DM) works on the physical fabrication of the quilt.   When we last left the project, the LEDs were…

Atlanta Sessions at the 2018 American Studies Association Tweet!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?’http’:’https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+’://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js’;fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, ‘script’, ‘twitter-wjs’); This year’s American Studies Association annual meeting takes place in Atlanta from November 8–11. The conference, to be held at the Westin Peachtree Plaza Atlanta, includes several sessions that interrogate Atlanta’s cultures, its places, and issues facing the city. Noting that W. E. B. Du Bois wrote The Souls of Black Folk while working at Atlanta University, the meeting’s call for proposals invokes Du Bois’s representation of Atlanta as “as a city at a crossroads: it could bow to the seductive but alienating ideals of racial capitalism, or…

Update 2: node2vec community detection with a co-occurrence graph

URL: Update 2: node2vec community detection with a co-occurrence graph
Previous post on Louvain On node2vec, we were able to successfully run our weighted co-occurrence graph. After using PCA with TSNE to reduce the dimensions shown, the node2vec model has more well-defined clusters here than on our previous bipartite graph. Another thing to note is that on the right-side visualization, there are only people nodes. You can also check out our d3 visualization here, which allows you to zoom in/out and see the labeled nodes! node2vec on our previous bipartite graph. The blue nodes are people while the red nodes are documents. node2vec on our current graph. The colors are arbitrary.…

Update: Detecting communities with a co-occurrence graph

Source: Georgia Tech Digital Humanities Lab
URL: Update: Detecting communities with a co-occurrence graph
Previous post From our previous post, we’ve discovered that the community detection algorithms were mainly grouping based on document/location. This time, we created a new weighted co-occurrence graph of all the people in all documents, similar to Les Miserables. The weight of an edge tells us the number documents the source and target nodes appeared in together. The graph itself has around the same amount of nodes (~5k) but it has 100 times more edges than nodes (~565k). There were many edges to render and process in a graph which might not be suitable for node2vec or Girvan-Newman. Louvain, however,…
