The work is primarily associated with Alexander Mordvintsev and collaborators at Google Brain, though the workshop draws broader participation from researchers interested in morphogenesis, swarm systems, and emergent complexity.</p>https://ryanorban.com/notes/zipfian-d3js-workshop/Tue, 13 May 2014 00:00:00 +0000me@ryanorban.com (Ryan Orban)https://ryanorban.com/notes/zipfian-d3js-workshop/<h3 id="summary" class="scroll-mt-8 group"> Summary <a href="#summary" class="no-underline hidden opacity-50 hover:opacity-100 !text-inherit group-hover:inline-block" aria-hidden="true" title="Link to this heading" tabindex="-1"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="16" height="16" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" class="lucide lucide-link w-4 h-4 block" viewBox="0 0 24 24" > <path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71" /> <path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71" /> </svg> </a> </h3> <p>Zipfian Academy launched a standalone workshop on interactive data visualization with D3.js, taught by Rachel Binx. This was part of Zipfian&rsquo;s strategy to offer shorter-format workshops alongside the main 12-week cohort — making the curriculum accessible to working professionals who couldn&rsquo;t do full-time immersive training.</p>
