The silliest of problems, fuzzy text alignment
https://www.joelkuiper.eu/silly-problems
The silliest of problems, fuzzy text alignment. Lately I have been working on Spá. A system which aims to give researchers a flexible way of doing machine-assisted data extraction from full-text PDFs. Its raison d’etre. Is that scientific knowledge only gets published as unstructured journal articles; but, researchers are usually only interested in specific bits of information. Which, and I’m simplifying, means: Google (or PubMed. So, I like to think that Spá helps to solve a problem which should not exi...

Is the Javascript coin fair?
https://www.joelkuiper.eu/javascript_coin
Is the Javascript coin fair? It is a simple question: is the Javascript coin fair. The question about coins is almost always in the first chapter of a statistics book, so it should be relatively straight forward to answer. We will be using the Bayesian method. In the Bayesian framework the question has no definite answer, we can never be certain if the coin is fair. However we can compute our belief that the coin is fair, given our observations. For (r ) heads and (n ) tosses its PDF is:. And (r le n ).

Bringing documents back to life
https://www.joelkuiper.eu/living_documents
Bringing documents back to life. The general process of epidemiological research is as follows. First the academic asks a question and hopes to answer it by doing some calculations. These calculations are usually done with various software tools, R, SPSS, SAS, Python, Excel, all intermingled with data, and spread out over several places. But the iteration in search of the desired results keeps the process alive. This is a problem. Because how do you now test if the results are still valid with, for e...

Whatever happened to Semantic Web?
https://www.joelkuiper.eu/semantic-web
Whatever happened to Semantic Web? A very short introduction. Let’s talk about the semantic web of the early ‘00 (noughties? The Resource Description Framework (RDF). It was promised to solve all the problems of knowledge representation and web scalability. However, while the techniques still have rich applications in many of the biomedical sciences, it rather quickly died in the mainstream web development community. So, I would like to say it’s at least fun and interesting. RDF extends the linking struc...

An experiment in reactive literate programming
https://www.joelkuiper.eu/org_reactive_literate
An experiment in reactive literate programming. This document is an example in using Literate Programming with the ideas from Reactive documents. The reactive documents ideas are heavily inspired by Bret Victors’ Tangle. See also Explorable Explanations. However the difference being that Emacs. Is used in combination with Literate Programming. Admittedly this will all look a bit boring until you read the source document. Let ( (x 1, x 2, ., x n) ) be an iid. Where (K( bullet) ) is the kernel. This can be...

Tritium Necklace
https://www.joelkuiper.eu/tritium
Is a low-level beta emitter. Which can be used for illumination. Tritium illumination is the use of gaseous tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, to create visible light. Tritium emits electrons through beta decay, and when they interact with a phosphor material, fluorescent light is created, a process called radioluminescence. Since it’s completely harmless to humans when not inhaled or ingested it is sometimes used in keychains. Just a nerd and a cynic.

Explicit memory as a framework for the neural correlate of consciousness. This was my bachelor thesis for Artificial Intelligence (2011). Original document can be found at the University Library. This document has been automatically converted for the web. On an anatomical level functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has allowed to accurately describe the relation between behavior (psychology) and neuroanatomy (physiology) in both healthy and pathological cases [ Simons.
