Introduction to Brown Dog (30m)

This is a presentation and demo of Brown Dog project and service

How to use Brown Dog Services (1h 30m)

This is a session to teach how to use Brown Dog Services

  • Participant will use his/her own laptop for this part
    • We will provide a VM with everything pre-installed in it through Nebula.
    • Provide clear instructions as how to access VMs in Nebula with proper credentials.
    • (Before tutorial - wiki pages with clear instructions) Installs Python/R/MATLAB/cURL to use BD Service along with the library required in case any one interested in using the BD services in future .
  • Demonstration of use of BD Fiddle 
    • Sign up for Brown Dog Service
    • Obtain a key/token using curl or Postman
    • Use token and bd fiddle interface to obtain to see BD in action. 
    • Copy paste the python code snnipet and use it the application to be explained next. 

  • Create an application/use case using BD services
    Possible applications --
    • Given a collection of images with text in it (or scanned handwritten documents image), try to search those images based on its content.
      • One can upload images from local directory or use flicker API (??) to obtain images 
      • Write a Python script to upload all images to BD (provide this code)
      • Let the participant use the python library of BD to obtain key/token and write request to BD-API
      • Make sure OCR ( or Census Extractor) is running
      • Once technical metadata is obtained from BD, index it tags and technical metadata in an locally running Elasticsearch (provide this code also)
      • Search for the image using ES query
      • Participant will require to install ES for this application.

    • Given a collection of text files from a survey or reviews for a book/movie, use sentiment analysis extractor to calculate the sentiment value for each file and group similar values together.
      • Write a Python script to upload all files from a directory to the BD API
      • Saves the results for each text file in a single file
      • Create  separate folders and move the file based on the value
      • Tried to see Yelp API, IMDB API to obtain reviews (???)  or use Twitter API (??) to pull some reviews

    • CSV files (Ameriflux), use BD for some gap-filing on the files and return result.

    • Think of a R client for BD. (PeCAn??)

    • Think of a MATLAB client 

    • Want to build a Web application on top of BD, (Similar to what Marcus build??)

    • Use BD convert to convert a collection of images with old format to png or pdf. convert odp/odt to ppt/doc

 

How to add Your Tool to Brown Dog Services (1h 30m)

This is a session to teach how to add user's tool to Brown Dog Services

Use Contributors Landing Page for this part of the session.

Participant will be provided with a VM with all required setup so that they can create their own tool. They will require to install VirtualBox to use the VM.

Participants will be uploading their Tools  to the Tools Catalog. 

As an example of this part, try to think of an example for creating a BD tool.
