Data Portfolio
2022-10-29
Chapter 1 README
This is a selection of my projects – curricular, extracurricular, and personal – knitted together as a portfolio using bookdown (Xie 2022) to showcase my skill set in the realm of data and mathematics.
Each chapter is a project with the most recent one at the top.
Project identifiers are [subject | content]: [ML, DA | R, PY, MATH]
The two main subjects are machine learning and data analysis, written in either R or python, incorporating math, SQL, or shell scripts. SQL and ZSH aren’t included as identifiers but are shown when used.
1.1 Structure
Project 1: NASA-SVM [ ML | PY ]
Acronym disambiguation with machine learning using NASA white paper abstracts
Project 2: Google Capstone [ DA | R ]
Data analysis capstone project using Chicago cyclist metadata
Project 3: Visualizing Sentiment [ DA | R ]
Database querying with SQL and visualizing tweet sentiments
Project 4: NN-XOR [ ML | PY , MATH ]
The mathematics behind backpropagation and learning XOR, with a Tensorflow example
Project 5: NN-MNIST [ ML | R , MATH ]
Building and training a neural net from scratch using math and MNIST handwritten digits
1.2 Why Bookdown?
Showcases code and provides transparency of the “tools” I use (and in times create, e.g., shell scripts or helper functions)
“Proof it works” notebooks (all of the code on here ran successfully)
Organizes and cleanly displays everything with a minimalist theme
It’s an amalgam of my interests and aligns with my professional skill set
I already use bookdown when writing books because I love markdown
- I personally use obsidian for all of my notes
