Interview with Doug Duhaime, contributor to Google's Dev Library

Introducing the Dev Library Contributor Spotlights - a blog series highlighting developers that are supporting the thriving development ecosystem by contributing their resources and tools to Google Dev Library. We met with Doug Duhaime, Full Stack Developer in Yale University's Digital Humanities Lab, to discuss his passion for Machine Learning, his processes and what inspired him to release his PixPlot project as an Open Source. I was an English major in undergrad and in graduate school. I have a PhD in English literature. To answer this question, I had to mine an enormous collection of data - half a million books, published before 1800 - to look at different patterns.
