Income Inequality in Chicago by Herwig Scherabon

These images are abstract diagrams of cities and show a high resolution matrix of blocks. The height of these blocks corresponds to the income in the respective output area. The resolution of the grid is smaller than the actual census tracts, in order to retain the visual footprint of the city’s street-grid.

Shiry Ginosar - Yearbook Averages

Data mining has changed the way we think about information. Machine-learning algorithms now routinely chomp their way through data sets of Twitter conversations, travel patterns, phone calls, and health records, to name just a few. But there is another historical data set that has been largely ignored by the data-mining community—photographs. This presents a more complex challenge.

These guys start with a relatively simple database—American high-school yearbook photographs dating back to 1905. These yearbook photos have been digitized on large scale by local libraries all over the U.S. and show full frontal photos of individuals in a standard pose.

Ginosar and co downloaded over 150,000 of these portraits. After removing those that were not full frontal portraits, they were left with some 37,000 images from more than 800 yearbooks from 26 U.S. states.

They then grouped the portraits by decade and superimposed the images to produce an “average” face for each period. This process revealed other “average” features for each period such as hairstyle, clothing, style of glasses, and even average facial expressions. The image above shows these averages for each decade for men and women.

Schrödinger’s King: Paul Rudd challenges Stephen Hawking to a game of Quantum Chess

A bit offtopic. But the video by Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter in association with Trouper Productions is pretty darn funny. And it’s about Quantum Physics, so there’s my excuse for posting. Furthermore, it’s narrated by Keanu Reeves, who gives his best to sound like a bad imitation of Keanu Reeves. You have to like it.

The game is real and the stakes are high as the future of humanity hangs in the balance. Can Paul Rudd, an actor, beat Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest minds of our generation, in a game of chess that will determine the future of humanity? Most likely not. Unless…
