I’ll log the main steps in, I found lots of hints on the web but nothing that tied it all together for someone like me who lacks Apache config […]

Future Cities Hackathon (@ds_ldn) Oct 2013 on Parking Usage Inefficiencies

On Saturday six of us attended the Future Cities Hackathon organised by Carlos and DataScienceLondon (@ds_ldn). I counted about 100 people in the audience (see lots of photos, original meetup thread), from asking around there seemed to be a very diverse skill set (Python and R as expected, lots of Java/C, Excel and other tools).

Visualising London, Brighton and the UK using Geo-Tweets

Recently I’ve been grabbing Tweets some some natural language processing analysis (in Python using NetworkX and NLTK) – see this PyCon and PyData conversation analysis. Using the London dataset (visualised in the PyData post) I wondered if the geo-tagged tweets would give a good-looking map of London. It turns out that it does: You can […]

PowerPoint: Brief Introduction to NLProc. for Social Media

For my client (AdaptiveLab) I recently gave an internal talk on the state of the art of Natural Language Processing around Social Media (specifically Twitter and Facebook), having spent a few days digesting recent research papers. The area is fascinating (I want to do some work here via my Annotate.io) as the text is so […]
