Last night I was playing a little with Openpose data in #RStats. I realized it's not too hard to wrangle the Openpose output and plot signing directly using #ggplot2 and #gganimate, like so:
But I decided to make some tweaks so you can change the color of the signer+clothes, which makes seeing the hands a bit easier (contrast!)...
But also, why not give your signer a pretty turtleneck to wear?

You guys know that IKEA products are basically just #Swedish words and place names, right? Walking around an IKEA store is like walking through a dictionary.

This is a script simulating the idea in Swedish and other places/languages: github.com/borstell/fakea Image

And version 1.1.0 already up!
> devtools::install_github("borstell/signglossR")

New stuff:
– make video examples (repeated and/or slow motion playback)!
– make GIFs!
– automatic face blurring/censoring!

Feedback welcome!

github.com/borstell/signg…
So you can now input a video and it outputs it slower and/or repeated. Here's an example of a sign for 'deaf' in STS rendered with a repeated 30% speed playback!

(Oh, and passed to the make_gif() function as well!)
And the automatic face blurring works great! Even with multiple people in the image (or, like here, multiple repetitions of the same person in one composite image)! Image

So, it's like *very* easy to process and reconstruct actual images with only a few lines of code. As in plotting software redrawing the image, pixel by pixel.

Here's is a gif of me made with #ggplot2 and #gganimate. Sunday = fun day!
Like this is also #ggplot2 omg it's amazing! Image
And look! With some clever coding you can pixelate your gifs!

So in Swedish, some island nations/territories would mostly get the preposition "på" ('on') rather than "i" ('in').

I mapped a blog corpus search to see the relative distribution between på (red) and i (yellow). Image
Basically, "på" is preferred for the following:
🇩🇲🇫🇰🇫🇴🇬🇬🇬🇵🇬🇺🇰🇾🇸🇨🇦🇽🇮🇸🇬🇱🇨🇺🇲🇻🇲🇹🇲🇬🇯🇲🇲🇺🇦🇼🇯🇪🇫🇯🇮🇪🇧🇧🇨🇾🇧🇸🇲🇶🇬🇩🇭🇹

🇦🇶 and 🇵🇭 are slightly in favor of 'in' (52% and 68%, respectively). Rest are definitely 'in'.
"So weird that you have to know if there's water around a place to know which preposition to use" (@fbisnath 2020)
