a journey through my past thoughts
this project was a creative exploration of cleaning, analyzing, and visualizing personal data.
i began by exporting all the data i have given instagram. there was a lot to sift through, so i used the pandas python package to slim the data down to a list of captions. these captions were then used to build a markov chain of bigrams. once paired with syllable counts, the markov chain instructed the generation of haikus based on the predicted next word for a given bigram. the haikus were then paired with the original images from instagram to create a visual representation of the poem.
