__datagoboop__ is an R package for data sonification, an aural alternative to data visualization. Built-in functions for common plots are included, as well as modular tools for mapping data to different sonic characteristics so you can build an audioplot from the ground up.
Goal: Teach basic R, EDA principles, and ggplot2 in one day, in the middle of a pandemic! Sponsored by the UCI Data Science Initiativee.
For a first ML project, two other PhD students and I worked on building a machine learning agent that could match pictures of faces to 8 different emotions (you can see our writeup here (pdf)).
