So far #spitedrivendevelopment is yielding some fun results to take my mind off work. From scraping, parsing, and ngraming ~3500 abstracts for a #structuralengineering conference spanning nearly 20 years, I can safely say that my rejected proposal was barking up the wrong tree.

#computationaldesign as a phrase didn’t appear even once.

#sustainability has appeared a whopping 63 times.

And that’s likely less than 63 presentations since the ngrams were applied on a single text bucket 🤔 😆
