This Week at The Palindrome

Finishing up with knowledge graphs and building more interactive tools

Hey! It’s Tivadar from The Palindrome. It’s time for an update. Let’s

I’m finishing up my video about the knowledge graph of machine learning, which will be released next week; I’ll do a live premiere right here on Substack Live, with a discussion after the viewing. (You can join here.)

This video will mark a milestone for me: instead of relying on hand-crafted slides and a presentation-style exposition, I built a scripting engine on top of the knowledge graph explorer that turns a JSON script like

[{
  "at": 0.0,
  "action": "autoRotate",
  "axis": "y",
  "speed": 0.01,
  "duration": 9.3,
  "windDown": 2.0,
  "easing": "linear"
},
{
  "at": 9.3,
  "action": "selectNode",
  "nodeId": "gpt",
  "showPrerequisites": true,
  "showDependents": false,
  "duration": 2.0
}]

into a beautifully rendered video.

Here’s a sneak peek:

The machine learning knowledge graph project could serve as a template for my future content. From now on, I’ll go full multimodal, meaning that I’ll

• build interactive visualizations (such as the knowledge graph explorer),

• then write posts and record videos, aided by the interactive tool.

Now that the current video-in-progress is about to be finished, what’s next?
