I have used the machine learning workshop and remixed it into a software carpentry-style episode https://data-science-for-biotech.github.io/python-pandas-viz-ml/03b-machine-learning/index.html. I found your workshop very approachable and of great help. So thank you for making it available!

Can't wait to build and experiment!

This is a request for a workshop on web scraping, to support Sam and others on campus.

Do we know if the Ubuntu script is modifying /etc/mysql/my.cnf (that is, the central one, not ~/.my.cnf) to include the customizations that Bookworm uses? This may not have any effect on small datasets, but will probably lead to an underside TMP table error on larger ones...

I just met with Dominique in the library to discuss her team's desire to visualize some linked open data with D3. I thought we should do a lab session on the topic, helping folks munge XML data as exported from Dominique's server (which is a large linked open data server) into the miserables.json format used by several d3 examples. We could then show participants that this same data can be visualized with:

a force-directed graph: https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4062045
a cooccurrence matrix: https://bost.ocks.org/mike/miserables/
an arc diagram: http://bl.ocks.org/enjoylife/4e435d329c2c743da33e

That could help open up discussion on the virtues of different data visualization techniques...

This is a request for a workshop on how to find overrepresented terms in a corpus. Emerged from a conversation with Clay on his work

I'm able to get Federalist mostly working, except. Except that I get the spinning loading wheel of death. In my apache error log, there's a mostly helpful error:

[Tue Aug 23 20:50:42.716682 2016] [cgi:error] [pid 12821] [client 130.132.173.70:43443] AH01215: ERROR:root:/etc/mysql/my.cnf, referer: http://54.152.238.88/federalist/

Don't try to access the instance right now, as it's shut down. Do I need my bookworm db credentials in /etc/mysql/my.cnf? I don't really care why it's looking there instead of ~/.my.cnf as long as I can make the connection, though it's a little odd.

What's left to do on the word-vectors workshop:

• fix PDF links
• Add Hierarchical explanation
• explain centroid more?
• Review for typos/mistakes
• Add resources section/links to more info

I just don't get Palladio. What would I use it for and how?

We're running a live instance here: http://bookworm.library.yale.edu/collections/vogue/

The latest code, more up-to-date code is here:

API: https://github.com/bookworm-project/bookwormDB
Default FrontEnd (HighCharts line graph): https://github.com/Bookworm-project/BookwormGUI

In addition, Ben has been working on d3-based visualizations from the same API backend, here: https://github.com/bmschmidt/BookwormD3

We would have texts ready to go for attendees. Ideas for texts to prepare:

• Vogue photo captions [PL]
• Medical Heritage Library pre-1923 texts [MG]

Discussing pull requests and merging with lab members

This is a request for a workshop on how to use Github :)

Several bookworm scripts (specifically, those for flushing and reloading data) assume 'dbadmin'@'localhost' rather than 'dbadmin'@'127.0.0.1'. Not sure how interchangeable they are; we could either add in localhost as an addition or swap it out.
