<p>Algologs = a 1 + 1 day dialog with algorithmic practices. This two-day event is an extention of Algolit, a workgroup where text-based practices and algorithms meet. Algologs is part of a series of occurances meant to open up the usually Brussels-based Algolit meetings by inviting external speakers, presenters and participants to join the conversation. During Algologs, we will increase the % of engagement with everyday algorithms.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>On Friday evening we explore a multiplication of Algoliterary ways of converting words to numbers x infrapunctural reliefs x bookscanner pipelines x “We Are Going to Take Over the World, One Robot at a Time”. Together we will log algorithmic attitudes, voices and practices.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The presentations on Friday are followed by an Algolit session on Saturday, where we will host a collective dive into the clustering techniques of word-embeddings. We propose to look at a specific implementation of word-embeddings step-by-step, to use it as a source for recipies for small (code or non-code based) experiments.</p>

Algolit session: From words to numbers through word-embeddings</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This session is special edition and part of a longer timeline of monthly Algolit gatherings organised by Constant in the WTC25 in Brussels. In 2018 Algolit decided to open the sessions, to allow incisive jump-in jump-out participation. More information & material around Algolit can be found on <a href="http://algolit.net">algolit.net</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>We will start the day with going step-by-step through the script <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/word2vec">word2vec_basic.py</a>, and slowly slide into both code-based and non-code based experiments, depending on what the attendants are inclined towards. This work session is a moment to try things out yourself.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note to attendants: It would be good to bring a laptop. Not per se for the reason of working with code or digital tools (we are big enthusiasts of non-coding experiments!), but we usually take notes collectively or look at references. For that reason a laptop is a nice companion!</p>
|

|
