Lichess is an online chess platform where players can play against each other in different rating brackets. Our idea was to visualize the chess opening hierarchy by experience level on the Lichess platform catered to beginner to advanced chess players. Chess openings are specific sequences of moves played by both...
Cook County has high rate of vaccination across one of the largest populations in the country. But now that vaccine uptake is beginning to stagnate, what can Cook County do to close the gap? We used unsupervised learning to cluster Cook with 480 counties across the US, then used Tableau...
My submission seeks to describe the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on civilians using recent data from the United Nations. However, my work acknowledges the fallibility and lack of granularity of data collected during armed conflict, as well as the tendency of quantification to dehumanize those it describes....
Different cancers are dependent on distinct genes for their survival. The Broad institute previously ran assays on cancer cell lines that knocked out individual genes. Cell survival was subsequently measured to discover what genes were most essential to cancer survival. This dashboard uses the “essentiality” scores produced from these assays...
In this video of simulated galaxy formation there are three panels, each showing the same scene from a different perspective. The leftmost is a view of interstellar gas, the coldest (blue) of which will eventually form into stars like the Sun. In the middle panel, which shows what the Hubble...
On February 22, 2022, I gave a talk hosted by the African Studies Program of Georgetown University. Two days later, Russian battalions were sent across Ukraine’s borders by President Vladimir Putin. In real time, viewers around the world have seen immense distress unleashed on innocent citizens. In Africa, distress has...
Attitude control in quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems is traditionally managed by optimal control loops tuned to minimize errors in performance. While robust, these loops perform sub-optimally in dynamic and unpredictable environments which inspire new interest in sophisticated solution and approaches such as reinforcement learning (RL) approaches which should...
The ability of a cell to regulate its mechanical properties is central to its function. Emerging evidence suggests that interactions between the cell nucleus and cytoskeleton influence cell mechanics through poorly understood mechanisms. Here we conduct quantitative confocal imaging to show that loss of A-type lamins tends to increase nuclear...
A study to investigate the role of population sex ratio in gender switching in an A. Triphyllum population along with the role of different environmental factors and management activities on plant size and population sex ratio in two different populations
These data are packaged as a "tarball" which includes main files. There are two main files:
training_sources.csv – list of sources in the training_lcs/ folder, including name, classification, mean mag, total number of observations, and duration of observations
test_sources.csv –list of sources in the test_lcs/ folder, including name, classification, mean...
This data set includes photometric features as measured by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; sdss.org) that can be used as a training set in a machine learning model to separate galaxies and stars. It is used as part of a problem developed for the LSSTC Data Science Fellowship Program....
This data set was curated as part of an exercise for the LSSTC Data Science Fellowship Program (DSFP). The data are sourced from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; sdss.org).
The following query of the SDSS database was used to select these data (note - use of "TOP" in the...
