Machine Learning Assignment 9

I chose to build a corpus of journals, which contains 950 images from weibo and google. 

Introduction:

The “Journal” I’m talking about is a term comes from Japan, which is called 手帐 てけょう. As far as I know, it is a kind of small notebook that Japanese people carry around to record or plan their lives. This is what it is originally, and it has evolved into a richer culture through its spread between different countries over time.

It’s really hard to write a definition for journals, since it’s a very inclusive culture. Probably it is a system of notebooks that people form with various styles to plan or record their lives. (When I wrote that sentence, I was already aware of its one-sidedness). It comes in various forms and contents: paper-based, digital, painting, stickers, pure text, pure decoration, plan of meetings, record of dreams … Anyway, it’s very likely that you are already a part of the journal community that planning things or recording them in your style.

Meaning:

I’ve been writing journals for about 5 years. I will almost certainly carry a journal with me everyday.

Journals has changed my perspective on life. I’m not going to go too far, just show you some images of my journals:

my journals

daily diary

plan for final

five year diary

weekly plan

gift card collection

entertainment plan

As you can see, the journals are very diverse in form, but there is also a kind of similarity. Therefore, I’m curious what the generated journals will look like. 

Here’s the data: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v10DZVaaAJnRX7UmnRTsOMQH0Dlirt2o/view?usp=sharing
