The human mind is an unparalleled pattern recognition machine. Wordclouds are a visualisation technique which allow the human eye to pick out patterns with a little help from statistics. For this first post the Human mind will be the machine.
What can you pick out of the clouds?
Post Titles in July
Blockchain
When I look at Steemit, I see a rich public datasource. An immutable public Blockchain that is waiting to be explored.
Data in the 21st Century
All facets of life are present here; cultures, languages, religions, occupations. One of the greatest aspects of Steemit is the fact that it is on a public blockchain. The data is available for anyone to view and immutable. It cannot be changed, censored or hidden. As Steemit grows it can become difficult to keep track of the authors you really like. We get flooded with data. I am now following over 900 people so my feed is usually full of posts, too many for me to reasonable read and respond to in a day.

Machine Learning
The machines are rapidly catching up with the human brain and in this series of posts I will be using advanced machine learning techniques to find patterns in the Steemit Blockchain, establishing relationships and connections. It will also help me to find posts and authors to follow.

Wouldn't it be interesting to submit Steemit Blockchain data to this site for a competition with a bounty?
If anyone has any good ideas of a problem, and wishing to support a bounty I would love to hear your suggestions.
