Messy Room by Shel Silverstein:
Computing in the Arts Final Project

Alex, what is this project? It looks awesome.

Thanks! I wanted to investigate what language looks like structurally. I used natural language processing to pull out parts of speech (mapped to shades of blue) and dependency relationships between words (drawn with white bezier curves). Have any favorite poems / texts I could try it on?

I studied Computing, Cognition & Aesthetics (independent BA) and Computer Science (MEng) at Cornell.

My thesis projects examined data, computation, design and their intersection.

At Google I've worked on mobile maps and gmail, suggest, query refinements, social search, goggles, mobile search and Chrome for Android.
