NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING: SENTIMENT ANALYSIS OF DEPRESSION IN TWEETS
Orchids: classification using machine learning
Given a dataset with 50+ features where the identity of two species of orchids is known, I use a different dataset and try to predict the identity of these two species based on the same set of features.
How Does Joint Evolution of Consumer Traits Affect Resource Specialization?
When traits involved in resource acquisition evolve simultaneously, does a consumer that feeds on two resources evolve to become specialized in one, two, or neither of them?
Consequences of life-cycle complexity to the potential for evolutionary diversification
What happens when evolution occurs in traits responsible for resource consumption in a species that undergoes metamorphosis, where each life-stage has its own specific set of resources?
The role of phenotypic plasticity on evolutionary diversification
The ability to shift the phenotype based on the environment s a crucial aspect of the survival of biological organisms. However, there is disagreement about whether it facilitates or hinders diversification. In this study I set out to try to find answers.
Complex life cycles drive community assembly through immigration and adaptive diversification
Life cycle complexity, whereby species have two distinct life stages, can affect community richness in unexpected ways.
