CO SCI 136 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Ideogram, Deadspin, Regular Expression
Document Summary
Deadspin, a website, has had its very own tool, comparing the differences of words used by. Nfl scouts reporting on black and white prospects. You type in a word to search for and the interactive returns a simple bar graph that you can drop into a comment. Text remains the dominant way of communication. (youtubevideos would nearly remain inaccessible were it not for text-based searches of the title, description or metadata). We are unrelentingly bombarded by text in our lives. for some this problem arises: a dearth of readily accessible and reliable digital texts, whether because of legal reasons, technical challenges, or resource constraints that make it impractical to digitize everything. As a result there is an inequality in the availability of digital texts. When text is available, we seek ways of representing significant features, often through visualization (=transformations of text that tend to reduce the amount of information presented, like word clouds)
