Course: SI 601 (Data Manipulation)

Project site: http://yuliang.net/cgi-bin/lastfmlab.cgi

Collaborators: Me + 2 talented peers

Summary: This project is about using Perl and Last.fm API to do some interesting exploration of the tags on the popular social music network, Last.fm. We created a tag explorer by artist that analyzes/compares tags associated with the music of the artist with tags associated with music of similar artists (neighbors). Often times this will reveal some weird or missing tags of the artist, and can get quite amusing.

What I did: I participated in team meetings to discuss what we wanted to accomplish and I contributed in writing different parts of the scripts.
