PDF2txt miner
The inverted tool of this process
https://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer/
"What's It? PDFMiner is a tool for extracting information from PDF documents. Unlike other PDF-related tools, it focuses entirely on getting and analyzing text data. PDFMiner allows one to obtain the exact location of text in a page, as well as other information such as fonts or lines."

Generate the publication to PDF:
$ python3 create_all.py && python3 txt2pdf/txt2pdf.py -m A4 -f fonts/unifont-11.0.03.ttf -s 9 -v 0.05 -T 1 -B 0.9 -L 1.6 -R 1.4 data-workers.en.txt -o data-workers.en.pdf
Add logos.pdf on last page with PDFTK
$ pdftk data-workers.en.pdf A=data-workers.en.pdf cat A52 output data-workers.en.backcover.pdf
$ pdftk data-workers.en.backcover.pdf multistamp logos.pdf output data-workers.en.logos.pdf
$ pdftk A=data-workers.en.pdf B=data-workers.en.backcover.logos.pdf cat A1-51 B output data-workers.en.logos.pdf

Data workers ░░░░░░░░░░░░ need data to ▒▒▒▒ with. work
The data that is used in the context
of Algolit, is written language.
Machine learning relies on many types
Many authors of writing. ░░░░░░░░░░░░ ▒▒▒▒▒ in the write
form of publications, like books or
articles. These are part of organised
archives and are sometimes digitized.
But there are other kinds of writing
every human too. We could say that ░░░░░░░░░░░░
being who has access to the internet ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
is a writer each time they ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ interact
with algorithms.
We ░░ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒. chat, write,
click, like
and share
we In return for free services, ░░ ▒▒▒▒▒ leave
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ that is compiled into profiles our data
and sold for advertisement and research.
Machine learning algorithms are not
critics: they take whatever they're
given, no matter the writing style,
no matter the CV of the author, no
matter their spelling mistakes. In
fact, mistakes make it better: the
more variety, the better they learn
to anticipate unexpected text. But
often, human authors are not aware
of what happens to their work.
Most of the writing we use is in
English, some is in French, some in
Dutch. Most often we find ourselves
writing in Python, the programming
language we use.
Algorithms can be writers too. Some
neural networks write their own rules
and generate their own texts. And for
the models that are still wrestling with
the ambiguities of natural language,
there are human editors to assist them.
Poets, playwrights or novelists start
their new careers as assistants of AI.
