Awesome opportunity for NLP & book-minded ML researcher on my team in Apple’s Seattle office: jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/…

@quinnanya @sahiralsaid @espejolento @zoepster @eumanismo @DD_Jessica_ @cnDuKeli I have updated the site so the viz is working again. matthewjockers.net/macroanalysisb…

@quinnanya @sahiralsaid @espejolento @zoepster @eumanismo @DD_Jessica_ @cnDuKeli Yeah, sorry. My ISP updated backend and broke my ancient php:-(. Will try to fix over the holidays.

Delighted that @CopyrightOffice recommended granting (with limitations) our client @AuthorsAlliance petition for an exemption to circumvention liability for academic researchers who wish to carry out text and data mining of ebooks and motion pictures 1/4 cdn.loc.gov/copyright/1201…

@quinnanya @Jan_Rybicki I still tinker with the code on occasion. The version in GitHub is most updated. Pls post issues there and I will review. (Jan’s right about lexicon-based methods: kinda old tech now; ok for some things tho)

A few yrs ago, I had the same problem for Polish. Wrote @mljockers and he did something to the code and it worked. That is, only as far as using lexicon-based sentiment analysis works (sigh!) #pesteringsoftwareauthorshelps

My contribution for #DayofDH2021 An R wrapper for MALLET. See github.com/mjockers/rMall… (and please contribute). Room for improvement (and better docs) before going to CRAN, but handles all the main TM functions out of the box. Requires MALLET be installed. @dmimno

@chengyjohann @sramsay_unl @Ted_Underwood @lizlorang Awesome work JC! Now what?

@mharoldpage Yes

Greetings @mljockers! A question about your excellen #TheBestsellerCode if I may? When you analysed all those ebooks, did you chop off the end matter, e.g. sample chapters from next book etc?

Did you know data can help predict whether a book will be a bestseller? @mljockers and Jodie Archer reveal their Bestseller Code on "Fixed That For You". Then author @StephenMarche uses part of that code to write a machine-assisted sci-fi story! #FTFY smarturl.it/ftfy

“The Passamaquoddy Reclaim Their Culture Through Digital Repatriation” New Yorker article featuring the @mukurtu cms developed in the Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation at WSU. newyorker.com/culture/cultur…

“What students really need are new alliances between disciplines”. Very good article by @Ted_Underwood on tech & humanities at publicbooks.org/why-an-age-of-… To his book rec list, I would add Scott Hartley’s *The Fuzzy and the Techie* for a non-academic perspective.

@decisionalysis @anjacks0n Excellent. Just found your paper. Interestingly your results contradict what we found for NYT bestsellers. Namely, there was no dominant shape. See esp. ch. 3 of amazon.com/Bestseller-Cod…

@mljockers @anjacks0n I believe the package is cited in our paper. Have you read the paper?

Hm. Pinging @mljockers
