#introduction - Hi. I'm Shawn Jones. I'm a cat dad and an ISTI Postdoc Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
I'm interested in #MachineLearning #caturday #webarchiving #NLP #webscience #computervision #socialmedia #LEGO #IDIC and much more.
I recently moved from mastodon.social to hachyderm.io. I'm a Computer Scientist who moves between software engineering and research. I may post about code, papers, and conferences.
The attached image helps my colleagues differentiate my cats.
@shawnmjones I love how you have taken the time and effort to clearly and articulately describe the image in your Toot as part of the Alt text.
Looking at what you've done, I realize my Alt text descriptions have a very long way to go.
@kiranjholla I did write the sentence describing the scene, but I must confess that I did let the Mastodon Web client extract the text from the picture before correcting it. I’ll have to see if I bookmarked it, but someone wrote a post a month or so ago describing how to write good alt text for toots.
