Hello this is a log of things from kamo or Francesco. This is a wiki version of my Documentation Workout on the Soupboat.
SI16 Vernacular Language Processing
Text ⛵ Lifeboats
What if we could use some excerpts from all of what we are reading now as lifeboats in a sea of text? An attempt to play around with the continuous permutations between contents and contexts.
A funny animated thing developed with Cara, Mitsa and Emma in the first weeks of XPUB.
Text Weaving
Weave two texts, like warp and weft.
Code is made of essentialy 2 functions:
- the former is for splitting a text into a list of elements (atm it splits the txt in single words, but could be made to work with phrases or even chapters). With this function we process two texts for the second function.
- the latter takes the two arrays and a pattern structured as a string alternating A and B es: 'ABAB', 'AAABBB'.
A cool simple application of NLTK and Python with Emma and Jian
Chat a Pad
Process
- 🏏 take an academic text and turn it into a chat - translating into vernacular;
- 🏏 simplify the text
- 🏏 break it into chats
- 🏏 illustrate some bits
Levels
- 🏸 touch the inputs
- 🏸 overlap/merge them a bit
- 🏸 mesh them completely
Starting from a difficult but relatable text: our multi voiced pad of the day. Parsed here: Spreadsheet ghost
Rules to manipulate text:
- 🏑 table of contents - shorts contents - tag them
- 🏑 turn into chat bubbles
- 🏑 illustrate a few
Rules of text simplification (as ⛳️ objective ⛳️ as possible):
- 🏓 simple sentences
- 🏓 on point
- 🏓 short paragraphs and short chapter
- 🏓 title on each paragraph
- 🏓 text could become image caption/illustrate chapters/graphs?
- 🏓 page number
- 🏓 navigation (table of contents)
A nice chit chat moment with Alex and Supi.
Cam Transcript
A fun exercise of transcribing a video with Kimberley and Carmen. We described three online webcams from insecam.org.
You can read the transcript here
Rejection list
First brainstorming for the SI16 theme in the form of a giant bubbles list.
Fun and funny and here
🥣 Soup Generator
Hey this is a Soup + Diary Cookbook and it is meant to be collaborative! For now you can add a recipe only if you are from XPUB 🤧, but we are working to make it open access.
(ah ah we should make an open version now)
