Only in the last days, I&#8217;ve suddenly realized that the biggest <em>transformation<\/em> had occurred inside me thanks to the new experiences I was put into: as a project I wanted to distillate my thoughts as the deepest expression of my inner processes.<\/p>\n<p>I keep a diary in which I record my days and thoughts, that was my starting point.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"user-content-the-process\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ferdas\/memory-distilled#the-process\"><\/a>The process<\/h2>\n<p>The starting point was given by the things I wrote down in those days. I&#8217;ve applied to it algorithms of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Natural_language_processing\">Natural Language Processing<\/a> to split the text, to bring back the words to their original <em>lemma<\/em> (basic form) and to compute the frequencies of usage of every single word.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, I can deduce which are the most dominant concepts reported in my diary. Through algorithms of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sentiment_analysis\">Sentiment Analysis<\/a>, I can assign a different color to the words that belong to the neutral, positive or negative semantic field. When it&#8217;s all set I print them onto the shape of the beautiful castle that has hosted us for 10 days.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"user-content-the-result\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ferdas\/memory-distilled#the-result\"><\/a>The result<\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/github.com\/ferdas\/memory-distilled#memory-distilled&#8212;trasformatorio-2017-project<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2584\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2584\" style=\"width: 904px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/trasformatorio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/presentationday-51-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2584\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/trasformatorio.net\/?attachment_id=2584\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/trasformatorio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/presentationday-51-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,757\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D810&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1396504817&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;35&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;5000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"presentationday-51\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Where is Francesco?&lt;br \/&gt;\nPhoto by Irene Dominguez&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/trasformatorio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/presentationday-51-1-1024x646.jpg\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2584\" src=\"https:\/\/trasformatorio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/presentationday-51-1-1024x646.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"904\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trasformatorio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/presentationday-51-1-1024x646.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/trasformatorio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/presentationday-51-1-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trasformatorio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/presentationday-51-1-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/trasformatorio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/presentationday-51-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 904px) 100vw, 904px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Where is Francesco?<br \/>Photo by Irene Dominguez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memory Distilled &#8211;
