CS 388 – Week 12 – Updates

with No Comments

This week, I investigated the technologies being used in my found papers more closely to find which technologies would be more feasible for my project. For data collection, I have found that the facebook-sdk python library (https://pypi.org/project/facebook-sdk/) used by Pool and Nissim is the best option to connect to the Facebook Graph API, since it looks well documented and has all the options I might need. I also decided to use the Facebook Pages of politicians as my dataset. I reread As the Tweet, So the Reply?: Gender Bias in Digital Communication with Politicians by Mertens et al. to see if their methods could be adapted to my project. I will need to look at their references for methods in more detail to see if I can feasibly apply them to my project.
