I’m almost halfway done with the pre-requisites for my PhD. It feels good to be making headway. I created a word cloud of all the papers I’ve reviewed so far in order to see if any themes emerged. I was surprised to see the theme of ‘big data’ be so much more prominent than other topics. The corpus so far is rouhgly 700 papers. Part of the fun was just refining the python script to create this thing, which is in one of my public Git Hub repositories: https://github.com/lanceDamage/dockWordCloud_PY/blob/main/wordCloudpdfFolder.ipynb
