Hi, I'm Abhay Kumar. I like to throw up interesting things I encounter here. You can also see the result of my mustache pact with my coworkers, check out what I'm up to or see the few photos I take. I like to receive email and instant messages (AIM / Jabber), as well. Some links of interest: Calais Text Tagger, Powerset
I completely forgot about Wiffiti. I got back it to it today. Let’s see if this works:
I found an interesting visualization on Facebook a few minutes ago. If you’re on fb, check it out
What is Lexicon?
Lexicon is a tool to follow language trends across Facebook. Specifically, Lexicon looks at the usage of words and phrases on profile, group and event Walls. For example, you can enter “love, hate” (without quotations) to compare the usage of these two words on Facebook Walls. You may enter up to five terms, where each term can be a word or two-word phrase consisting of letters and numbers.
How do I interpret Lexicon results?
Lexicon shows the number of users that posted each term per day on a profile, event or group Wall. It does not count repeated terms by the same user on the same day. This is to account for the seasonality of Wall posting in general; for example, there are fewer overall posts in the month of December. The text of each Wall post is also “cleaned” before it gets counted. For example, every word is converted to lower-case, and apostrophes are removed (so “You’ll” turns into “youll”).
I did a little playing and found a really interesting, but expected, cyclic graph when one puts in a term like “drunk” or “hungover”
I really wish that more transit providers would add information that Google Maps can process. In this case, One is being told to walk across water and take PATH.
Jersey is doing a better job at this? For shame!
