For the fourth and last day of project recaps from this year’s unconf, here is an overview of the next five projects. (Full set of project recaps: recap 1, recap 2, recap 3, recap 4.)
In the spirit of exploration and experimentation at rOpenSci unconferences, these projects are not necessarily finished products or in scope for rOpenSci packages.
umapr
Summary: umapr wraps the Python implementation of UMAP to make the algorithm accessible from within R, leveraging reticulate to interface with Python. Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) is a non-linear dimensionality reduction algorithm. It is similar to t-SNE but computationally more efficient.

<em>Dr. Julia Silge [@juliasilge on Twitter] is a data scientist at Stack Overflow. We talked about why R brings Julia joy, her path to a career in data science and what it was like to co-write a book for O’Reilly Media. This interview occurred on February 3, 2018 at the RStudio Conference in San Diego.</em>

As part of our series summarizing all projects from this year’s unconf I’m excited to dive into all the security related offerings from this year. (Full set of project recaps: recap 1, recap 2, recap 3, recap 4.)

middlechild

Summary: This package provides an R interface to the Man-in-the-middle (MITM) proxy and allows R users to intercept, modify, and introspect network traffic. The package provides functionality to download, install, configure and launch mitmproxy. In addition to helping test API packages and identify dangerous calls, R users can also route their browser traffic through a specific port and capture all network traffic in R.
After Stefanie’s recap of unconf18, this week the blog will feature brief summaries of projects developed at the event: each day 4 to 5 projects will be highlighted. (Full set of project recaps: recap 1, recap 2, recap 3, recap 4) In the following weeks, a handful of groups will share more thorough posts about their work.
