This post hopes to make a clear distinction between weak, strong and giant components, and I use the open-source code of Gephi to illustrate.

Best-Worst Scaling, also known as MaxDiff, is a fantastic - yet still relatively underused - tool to collect data on how people compare / evaluate a list of items. That can be as diverse as:

Gephi is a free software for network visualization, which is quite popular (more than 3 million downloads since it launched in 2010, and one million download in the last 2 years).

Umigon is the name of the function performing sentiment analysis, which I initially developed in 2012.

When creating a network from a text or a corpus of texts, the logic is to draw the terms that frequently appear (“co-occur”) together in the same sentences or paragraphs. The problem is, most frequent terms in these texts will be connected even if these connections don’t make a lot of sense.

What time have we got to develop an academic research project? What time have we got when we develop and launch an app, as an indie maker?

Many things to share about the new directions of research and development I am pursuing! Check the “about” page for a start!
