## Citing this work
Please use the following:
```
@phdthesis{altosaar2020probabilistic,
Author = {Jaan Altosaar},
School = {Princeton University},
Title = {Probabilistic Modeling of Structure in Science: Statistical Physics to Recommender Systems},

}
```
## Building environment
Still using something like MacTex and Sublime Text with XeTeX: https://gist.github.com/altosaar/15b597c95644f665e0ef08346d701509
## Dropped capitals with colored backgrounds
The Illustrator file for colorizing the backgrounds of drop caps is in `/design/typography.ai`. To colorize backgrounds, import a page of the PDF with the drop cap, use [this](https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/60548/how-can-i-open-a-pdf-in-illustrator-and-convert-text-with-a-missing-font-into-ou) to convert it to shapes, make a new layer on top of the letter, then use the Pathfinder tool to excise the shape (instead of using the compound path). Select everything but the letter, and change the color.
