 I'm not too bad, we have like real speakers, so yeah, Hannah, take it away. Hey everyone, I'm Hannah, and I'm going to share about the personal challenge I took up. So earlier this year, I heard about this concept of called 100 Day Projects, which is basically people who keep coding or keep creating things to express their unique thinkings. Then I asked myself, what could I possibly do for 100 days without giving up or losing interest? And the answer was obvious. I decided to work on a field where there's an overflow of resources, which is data. So I will grab data from Kaggle, from data world, from data.gov.sg, or scribe an old data from Twitter or whatsoever. And all those data actually became the seed and soil for my coding projects. So when I started, I was more concerned about learning new things and challenging myself also have some fun rather than the readership. So I started writing a medium blog, and this is the first one of my earliest project, which I basically grab a very simple data set containing the consumption level of beer, wine, and liquor by country. And I just did a very simple hierarchical clustering to see which countries are more similar in terms of their drinking preference. Then our publication picked it up and people started reading it. Afterwards, I branched out to some many other topics. So one of the recent projects I did is I look at the migrants who are when missing. So sometimes those illegal migrants will take very dangerous routes. Many of them will never reach the other end. So this got me interested in understanding the human face behind the data. Another project that I did is using a set of different driving factor, looking at the different happiness level of the countries to see is it economy or peace or corruption that contributed more to our country's happiness. Another thing I did is looking at which countries most expensive or least expensive instead of in terms of getting our gadget. Also another project I did is I look at Simpson's and I realized the characters in Simpson all have a lot of alter eagles. Like they could assume a lot of role plays and in areas maybe they are not just Bar Simpson, they are middle-aged Bar Simpson or they are medieval on Gypsy or some Egyptian Bar Simpson. Then without knowing, I branched out to more and more topics and I started to realize I've covered things from public transport to public health, from astrophysics to entertainment, from food and drinks to social issues. So what this is really about is I realized by continuing working on something that you find interesting, it kind of gives you a structure of disciplines that if you just learn something, you don't know whether you have actually mastered it until you have started practicing it. It also creates this amazing momentum. It makes a creativity into your muscle memory and makes you keep creating new stuff. So what's next? In my previous project, I used a lot of R and some of the buildings of rest like Tableau and Cuttle DB which is very specialized in making geospatial visualization. What's next is I'm going to do more JavaScript or interactive storytelling and I hope that will be fun. So this is my block handle in case you are interested and if there's just one takeaway, I think for whatever things you are interested in, we can always find our medium, create our own canvas and find our own stage. So thank you very much. Yeah, thanks for the extra bit. So if you want to show anything in this one minute, you can. It's all there. Okay, we've got six minutes of questions. Yeah, we've got six minutes of questions, that's fine too. Yeah. Can we see the slab with all the visual? Yeah, can you show us some of your favorite visualizations? I don't know how to go back. So I think I'm pretty satisfied with the SF backgrounds. It's like a super easy one, but it shows heavy traffic by timing. So basically I did a small multiple, different times of the day and then basically I picked six hours that have the heaviest traffic which means they're not midnight, they're not midday and then by using their geographical coordinate, I can plot an arc to connect their origin and destinations and it's simple and effective and fast, which I really like. Do you think you have a, can you show us a medium post of the static image so we can appreciate? This is going quite fast now. I'm not connected to Wi-Fi, so I will leave it to you to change it. Yeah. It's okay, people can check. I have a question to say. Do you like to graph more or do you like the story behind the graph? I think it's important to understand the story behind. So I feel that one of the challenges in this project is one need to take a lot of time to clean and make sense of the data before you can actually do a graph. And one issue with open data is actually the quality is not always good. So sometimes after you spend the time, you realize this data set is not going to be usable. And even if it's useful, there's a lot of sense-making to do, like exactly what does this mean? And maybe you can combine this data set with other data set, data set of a totally different topic. And this from, and when you are combining data set from many different perspectives, you start to see a complete picture that like monolithic data will not show you. I have a little bit connected to internet. Okay. Can I take more questions as we set this up? So any question about like the logistics of all 100 days, 100 project things? Two questions actually. One is, did you build up a reserve before you started there? Did you really just jump in day one and then each one was made really from scratch? When you say, did I build up a reserve? Do you mean I searched for 100 topics first before? Yes, or not plenty. I think that would be a great idea. I kind of just went spontaneously and based on what data I find that day or what kind of things, what kind of chapters people have in that period of time. And I just dive right in. And then my other question is, did you have any days where you were like, I'm not really satisfied with this fun, but let's just get over days and maybe more of a better idea. Let's get this out of the door. Yeah, definitely. I feel one element of creativity is if you keep going for perfection, maybe you'll never reach a stage where you can show it to people. So I feel it may be better just to quickly get things out of there and then just move on. Maybe days later you have a better idea and then you could redo that project. So some of the projects I did are part one and I feel that's it. And a few days later I decided like here I could actually do it in a different way. So one of that is a project I did on all the United Nations is talking about in terms of refugee. So in the first one I did was really simple. It's basically using our package called Spacey to kind of speed out the keywords and figure out what are the key entities they are talking about maybe or even you can identify which words refer to countries and then you can pull these countries on timeline to see maybe in this period a lot of chatter on Syria, maybe in this period a lot of chatter on Africa. So that was the part one I did. And recently I, yesterday I started to do part two which is you can parse the dependency between verbs and nouns and then you realize people what kind of stuff you are actually talking about. For example, people could be talking about express gratitude or give asylum or facilitate repatriation. So this kind of goes one step further into making sense of what intergovernmental agency are talking about in terms of refugees and also putting another data set which is all the news coverage from Google's GDOT project to figure out what news media are talking about in terms of this topic. Continue on the logistics of 100 days. Did you do that full time during 100 days or it's a side project for an hour a day or on the day you spent? It's a side project after work. So I feel because it's different from other project where people do our photography or illustration every day. I feel this could be potentially data visualization could potentially be more time consuming because first of all you need to clean the data and that itself takes a huge chunk of time. So I don't think one needs to do it continuously for 100 days to like stress you out because the main point is to learn something and have fun. So basically I think anyone if interested in 100 days project just do it at their own pace will be good enough. Yes? So did you have any interruptions in the middle and what happened to you? So during traveling I don't do it or someday even during days where there's a lot of work I don't do it. So one thing I realized is the momentary is quite important. So there was a time I was traveled for more than two weeks and then when I came back I realized I can't lose the momentum for a little bit. So I think we are at time. Thank you all for your questions.
