--- Quote from: lifehacker ---Want to add a novel twist to your vanity searches? Personas is an art installation that turns a vanity search of your name in a spectrum of keywords associated with it. The end product, seen in the spectrum screenshot here, is interesting in its own right, but the most interesting part of Personas is watching it work. After you enter your name, you can see it crunching the text selections from the Google search results. If you have a name like Jason Fitzpatrick—both Jason and Fitzpatrick are extremely common names and nearly as common when linked together—your results will be a little muddled. While a good 75% of the quotes that flew by were from me, thanks to the popularity of Lifehacker, the remainder were from my interesting dopplegangers: a diving coach, a metal sculptor, an actor, a prisoner in a federal penitentiary, and a museum curator. As I said, the process itself is quite interesting. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: mit ---Enter your name, and Personas scours the web for information and attempts to characterize the person - to fit them to a predetermined set of categories that an algorithmic process created from a massive corpus of data. The computational process is visualized with each stage of the brown townysis, finally resulting in the presentation of a seemingly authoritative personal profile. --- End quote --- I/e it basically scours google for the name you inputted, and makes a lovey graph on what it finds. http://personas.media.mit.edu/personasWeb.html |
