I needed an excuse to make a word cloud shaped like a brain and I finally found one. Who said dreams don’t come true?

But in all seriousness, I learned a couple of things about how to work with text data, especially short text across multiple languages and I’ve shared that here:

Another project I think may be of a bit of interest is a #Python tool to create a word cloud of your Mastodon posts.

Works with all instances that allow you to create an API Key

I don't often make word-based designs but ... for reasons...

The #wordcloud from last night's double feature. I'm really happy with how it turned out on the first go. I spotted some gems in it like "Wrestling Women" or "snake pit evil always" or "getting tired you're exposition"

I generated a word cloud from my (extended) résumé + project writeups, it was interesting to see what popped out...
#GIS #spatial #mapping #wordcloud #resume #projects #professionalhistory

Another day, another #wordcloud.

Finishing up the TIFF images for the article; had to re-generate the images. Happy results!

TOOL REVIEW: https://www.wordclouds.com/

Easy to use; professional-looking color templates; font control (which matters!); has multiple submission options (extract from text is my favorite but I've also uploaded CSV; can download both images and weighted wordlist); high-quality results

The amount of car-borne #wifi is growing at an amazing rate.

#wordCloud from the parking lot of our play last night picked up by an #atomGPS unit

Behold! My research #WordCloud! One thing in particular is something not everybody realises: a shared "heritage" of our #HumanEvolution..."mandibular" and "reduction".

While we are told that the big brain is the most typical human trait, the jaws and teeth are the "least conspicuous" ones, and that's what makes them interesting...

When compared to our ancestors and living relatives, we have very gracile jaws, and I try to discover how that happened...

A #wordcloud generated from my #Mastodon profile.

If you want to do the same, you can use this little script I wrote that scrapes through your profile. https://github.com/amolv06/Mastodon-Wordcloud?tab=readme-ov-file

You'll need #python and an api-key for whatever server you want to do this on.

Alternatively if you're on #fosstodon and don't want to bother with the hassle feel free to let me know and I'll create a wordcloud for you.

Wow what a cool Google Scholar word cloud - generated from my research!

Thanks to Ryan Morin @morinryan for this app

Completely predictable word cloud based on my Google scholar paper titles

The Campus Life office just sent out a "Word Cloud Analysis" of the feedback forms turned in after today's New Student Orientation.

As student journalists, we would point out that the results are confusing, and also that Word Clouds are a form of visualization, not proper statistical analysis, Mollie Sawyer.
