Twitter mining with Avivore

Avivore. [hnn].

Cascading for the impatient

I know I mentioned Cascading once before, but there's a handy tutorial blog series now.  I should work through it, especially since there's a focus on TF-IDF, which I find myself needing lately.

RapidMiner

Open-source data mining suite of some kind. With a service based on it.

Data model XML

The Data Mining Group has published an XML standard "PMML" for the interchange of data models.

You know, I really need some kind of better semantic model for XML.  For myself, actually, but at the language level as well.  There's got to be a good way to think about XML as it relates to data structures or APIs or something, but somehow when I look at an XML specification I feel dry.

Mining massive time series

Some very interesting aspects of time series similarity.

Data mining astronomical literature

NASA has been working hard since the 90's to ensure open access to the astronomical literature.  Here is one man's data mining response.

Booking: mining massive datasets

Here's a useful-looking book on scalable data mining.

Processing schema.org markup with Perl

Nice outline of quick extraction of semantic markup in Web pages using Perl and a microparser.

Machine learning link dump

A few interesting links lately:

• Using SVMs to tune parameters for machine learning (metalearning is doubly cool)
• Colors in movie posters since 1914
• Data mining logo colors in top apps - as the author says, kinda cargo cultish, but still fun.

So that's a couple of tabs closed.

Recline.js

Recline.js: a framework for building data applications.

Ourmine - data mining toolkit project

Here's a pretty fascinating project - a data mining toolkit along the lines of the one I want to build, but in bash/Java (looks like).  Here's an example topic page (Naive Bayes classifiers).

More open-source books on computing

There are a couple of interesting titles here, including Data Mining Algorithms in R.  Definitely worth a look.

Target's data mining

Interesting article about Target's data mining and how they can tell a woman is pregnant - and how they don't creep her about knowing that, instead subtly modifying just her coupon mailers to include more baby-oriented coupons.

Interesting. Creepy - but interesting.

Weave: Web-based Analysis and Visualization Environment

I haven't looked too closely at this, but it looks neat.

Data mining: similarity

Nice little article on similarity metrics.

Data analysis of Twitter to determine you want to learn Objective-C

I find this kind of project fascinating every time: analysis of tweeted jobs to find popular keywords, with nice graphics. Learn Objective-C in 2012, apparently.

Waffles command-line ML toolset

Waffles is a comprehensive set of command-line tools for doing machine learning and data mining.

I really, really need to sit down and do a survey/implementation tool thing.

Data mining without prejudice

Interesting article from MIT about a paywalled article in Science about a new technique for data mining developed at MIT, the upshot being apparently that it's doing curve fitting with no preconceived notions of the variables being fit. Or something. I need to read it after some sleep.

Scalable data mining of Twitter stream

Neat article that is interesting on multiple fronts for me.

Data mining of recipes

Now this is way cool: analysis of comments on recipe sites to determine, well, all kinds of things, but especially what ingredients can be substituted for others. Just mouthwatering research - both figuratively and literally!

I want to do this.
