sonify: Data Sonification - Turning Data into Sound
Sonification (or audification) is the process of representing data by sounds in the audible range. This package provides the R function sonify() that transforms univariate data, sampled at regular or irregular intervals, into a continuous sound with time-varying frequency. The ups and downs in frequency represent the ups and downs in the data. Sonify provides a substitute for R's plot function to simplify data analysis for the visually impaired.

game_thrones: Game of Thrones coappearances
Network of coappearances of characters in the Game of Thrones series, by George R. R. Martin, and in particular coappearances in the book "A Storm of Swords." Nodes are unique characters, and edges are weighted by the number of times the two characters' names appeared within 15 words of each other in the text.
This network has 107 nodes and 352 edges.

A while back I discovered that ttyper (a typing test program for the terminal) can use a custom wordlist. I decided to create one entirely out of words I always misspell. I don't think my WPM will ever recover TT

V. J. Emery and P. W. Anderson's views and related issues regarding the basics of cuprates: a re-look
In 1991, V. J. Emery in his important review article entitled "Some aspects of the theory of high temperature superconductors"\cite{emery1} argued against the Zhang-Rice reduction of three-band to an effective one-band model. In his words "...therefore it seems that the simple $t-J$ model does not account for the properties of high temperature superconductors". Over approximately 35 years after the initial debates\cite{debates} much has happened in the field pertaining to this topic. Even thoug…

Visualization for interactively adjusting the de-bias effect of word embedding
Word embedding, which converts words into numerical values, is an important natural language processing technique and widely used. One of the serious problems of word embedding is that the bias will be learned and affect the model if the dataset used for pre-training contains bias. On the other hand, indiscriminate removal of bias from word embeddings may result in the loss of information, even if the bias is undesirable to us. As a result, a risk of model performance degradation due to bias re…

So my mother-in-law is making some Ukrainian "potatoes" (they're basically cocoa and rum and some kind of binder.. crackers? balled up) for the 7yo's bday party. My wife made these amazing signs for the attendees in case of allergies. 😂
