Visualizing Natural Language Processing Data and Extracting Conceptual Relationships

This is the final of three posts wrapping up my experiences with Google Summer of Code 2008 and the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence. (The other two are here and here.)
In this post, I will show how to visualize NLP parsed data using Wikipedia as an example.
As I mentioned in the previous post, the RelEx […]

Linkovbot: A Natural Language Processing IRC Bot

This is the first of three posts wrapping up my experiences with Google Summer of Code 2008 and the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence.
Although it had nothing to do with my main project proposal, Linkovbot does use the same NLP software and I did write it to give myself a break from reading too much […]

Soousgle: Is Google Broadcasting Your Personal Information?

As Google is handing over your sensitive personal information to Viacom, I was reminded by some strange behavior I noticed in Google’s caching system a while back, that I have decided to investigate further.
This code doesn’t do anything exciting, but give it some time to let Google cache it and let another monitoring program I’ve […]

Anomos: Anonymous and Encrypted BitTorrent

John has just done a hell of a write-up of the Anomos protocol we came up with last summer, complete with pretty pictures of fancy graphs. This is just a teaser for before we drop the real-deal, of course, but at least we can let the protocol be publicly audited and publicized. FTA:
Anomos is a […]

Vote Tampering and Election Auditing in Python

My school recently had an election for the student government body. The site looked pretty shoddy so I checked the source and played around with TamperData to see what was up. I noticed that the generated voting page had hidden Student UID and Name values hidden, and I wanted to check if those were the […]

Long Lost Projects

Here are a few little projects I’ve done but never posted here before.
Brain Animation:

I was a participant in a fMRI brain imaging study at BU, and they gave me some pictures of my brain. I turned them into this animation. This is what the inside of my head looks like! If anybody out there is […]

Beardvember!

Beardvember is almost here! From the manifesto:

It is our mission to unify and beautify men through the common objective of obtaining a full beard throughout the month of November.
For one month, we shall let our facial hair grow as it was intended to. It is not a contest, but a celebration of the privilege we […]

dX

..Jesus, I’m such a nerd. We started playing DnD and didn’t have any dice, so I wrote the dX Online Dice Roller. That’s pretty much all I’m gonna say about it.
So apparently Norway is awesome for a new reason besides fjords and black metal! The Liberal Party there is now advocating legal filesharing for non-commerical […]

RIAA Sorter

The Recording Industry Association of America likes to sue college kids and old ladies and little kids who share music files over P2P networks. RIAA Sorter is a simple program written in Python which will sort a directory of music into RIAA and Non-RIAA folders. Then, you can feel safe about sharing your Non-RIAA music […]
