Image Tagging in SAGE Journals

I've just published an article over on the SAGE Ocean blog, all about Image Tagging:

"In part one of this series we introduced the topic of automated image tagging and showed how Cloud Vision APIs such as Clarifai can be used to classify images into different categories. We showed examples of SAGE images and the tags assigned by different Cloud Vision APIs, then discussed use cases for this innovative technology—primarily in discoverability and accessibility. In this follow-on post, we focus on data analysis and specifically co-occurrence networks. By way of example we present a co-occurrence network derived from Clarifai image tags, which represents a kind of mental model of the SAGE journal images we processed. The following image is a visualization of the co-occurrence network that we created"

I Know Where You Were Last Summer: London's public bike data is telling everyone where you've been

Image
This article is about a publicly available dataset of bicycle journey data that contains enough information to track the movements of individual cyclists across London, for a six month period just over a year ago. I'll also explore how this dataset could be linked with other datasets to identify the actual people who made each of these journeys, and the privacy concerns this kind of linking raises. -- It probably won't surprise you to learn that there is a publicly available Transport For London dataset that contains records of bike journeys for London's bicycle hire scheme. What may surprise you is that this record includes unique customer identifiers, as well as the location and date/time for the start and end of each journey. The public dataset currently covers a period of six months between 2012 and 2013. What are the consequences of this? It means that someone who has access to the data can extract and analyse the journeys made by individual cyclists within

Harvesting Data from the Steam Community API

Image
Introduction The Steam community API is a web service that provides public access to information about Steam users, their games, achievements, and other related information. In this blog posting I'll describe some of the interesting data you can access, as well as how to model, retrieve, and process that data. I'll also show you how to generate a few fun, simple rankings and statistics for a group of steam gamers.   This is primarily a technical article, but it concludes with the results of a simple analysis performed over a small number of friends and aquaintances on Steam, which may be of interest to the non-technically inclined. The examples shown here can be reproduced using the sample code found in this GitHub repository. It's a work in progress, but hopefully provides enough insight so you can either repeat the results or build your own equivalent. Accessing the API The first thing to know is that Steam community data is accessed using a RESTful web serv

Personal Data Hacks: Visualizing Data from OpenFlights.org

Image
A friend recently told me about OpenFlights.org , a website that allows you to record, analyze, and share personal flight data. He showed me his dataset, which contained a record of every flight he'd taken over the past 10+ years. I was keen to investigate the dataset further, and my friend was happy to provide me with a copy so I could have a play (thank you Luigi!). The end result is the following collection of visualizations created in Gephi , with a little help from R . They show key transport hubs and routes for airports, countries, and continents that my friend has visited, and demonstrate some of the fun, insightful ways you can use such personal data. If you're interested in how the visualizations were created, check out the section at the end of this blog posting where I briefly describe the technologies required and steps involved. Note: OpenFlights.org is free to use, and supported by advertising and donations. You can join me in supporting OpenFlights.org v
