AI / ML have been progressing rapidly in the last 10 years and there is an avalanche of papers that are published in this space. Of the many papers that are published, a number of research papers have made their research codes open source which give like-minded academics as well as industry practitioners a means to build on their research. Papers With Code (https://paperswithcode.com/) is a website that tracks AI / ML papers with open source code implementation. As a person learning about AI, I’m very curious about what are the particular search subdomains that are actively researched and published. Hence, I have designed an interactive interface to allow one to quickly filter, search and access this corpus of data. Also, I have made a couple of visualizations to give users a quick visual sense of the activity in the field.

Tiktok (https://www.tiktok.com/en/) is an immensely popular social networking and mini-video sharing application worldwide with more than 2 billion downloads since Apr 2020. It is especially around the Gen Z and millennial age groups but has also penetrated the other age groups due to the virality and relevance and engagement of its content. Very similar to the social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WeChat that have reached a massive scale, the platform both has the potential to shape and propagate popular culture, politics and consumer trends - and these information is in parts captured by video content, hashtags, descriptions and meta-data like “shares”, “view counts”, “likes”, “mentions” etc. Hence, I would like to build an interactive visualization to explore the key trends around these.
