CiteSpace
A widely used tool for visual exploration of scientific literature.
Visit the new site: https://citespace.podia.com CiteSpace generates interactive visualizations of structural and temporal patterns and trends of a scientific field. It facilitates a systematic review of a knowledge domain through an in-depth visual analytic process. It can process citation data from popular sources such as the Web of Science, Scopus, Dimensions, and the Lens. CiteSpace also supports basic visual analytic functions for datasets without citation-related information, for example, PubMed, CNKI, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. CiteSpace reveals how a field of research has evolved, what intellectual turning points are evident along a critical path, and what topics have attracted attention. CiteSpace can be applied repeatedly so as to track the development of a field closely and extensively. The e-book How to Use CiteSpace explains the design principles and functions along with illustrative examples in more detail: https://leanpub.com/howtousecitespace -

nanoGPT
The simplest, fastest repository for training/finetuning models
NanoGPT is a minimalistic yet powerful reimplementation of GPT-style transformers created by Andrej Karpathy for educational and research use. It distills the GPT architecture into a few hundred lines of Python code, making it far easier to understand than large, production-scale implementations. The repo is organized with a training pipeline (dataset preprocessing, model definition, optimizer, training loop) and inference script so you can train a small GPT on text datasets like Shakespeare or custom corpora. It emphasizes readability and clarity: the training loop is cleanly written, and the code avoids heavy abstractions, letting students follow the architecture step by step. While simple, it can still train non-trivial models on modern GPUs and generate coherent text. The project has become widely used in tutorials, courses, and experiments for people learning how transformers work under the hood. -

AI Researcher
An autonomous AI researcher
AI Researcher is an experimental open-source project that demonstrates how multiple AI agents can collaborate to conduct complex research tasks from start to finish with minimal human intervention. It orchestrates agents that can generate research questions, perform literature reviews, execute experiments, analyze results, and synthesize findings into structured outputs like reports or code. Each agent operates with clear roles — such as researcher, analyst, and summarizer — and they communicate through a task-management interface that ensures progress tracking and iterative refinement. The system emphasizes modularity, so teams can swap in new reasoning modules, data retrieval strategies, or domain knowledge bases depending on the research topic. Through self-supervised feedback loops, agents adjust their strategies based on prior outcomes, improving both the quality and relevance of results over time. -

ThingPulse ESP8266 Weather Station
ESP8266 Weather Station library supporting OpenWeatherMap
This code works best with the NodeMCU V2 ESP8266 module and an 0.96" OLED display. To get you up and running in no time we created a kit that contains all the necessary parts. By buying this and other kits from us you are funding the maintenance and development of this library. Make sure you use a version of the Arduino IDE which is supported by the ESP8266 platform. If you are using the PlatformIO environment for building, choose one of the available IDE integration or the Atom-based IDE, install libraries 561, 562, and 563 with "platformio lib install", adapt the WeatherStationDemo.ino file to your needs. The simple class uses the header date and time to set the clock. NTP-based time class written by Fabrice Weinberg. We fixed many bugs and improved performance and changed the API a little bit. Either compare your code to the updated WeatherStationDemo or read through the upgrade guide. -

google-play-scraper
Node.js scraper to get data from Google Play
Node.js module to scrape application data from the Google Play store. Retrieves the full detail of an application. Retrieves a list of applications from one of the collections at Google Play. Retrieves a list of apps that results of searching by the given term. Returns the list of applications by the given developer name. Given a string returns up to five suggestions to complete a search query term. Retrieves a page of reviews for a specific application. Returns a list of similar apps to the one specified. Returns the list of permissions an app has access to. Retrieve a full list of categories present from the dropdown menu on Google Play.
