I'm glad to see coverage of discourse analysis of US politics. It would be more interesting to examine the co-occurrence of keywords, but this is a start. #Sociology #DiscourseAnalysis #ComputationalSocialScience

In my class on data visualization in the fall, I'll be introducing students to machine learning with text analysis. The first example uses album reviews to train a classifier by genre (rock, jazz, hip hop, folk). I contrast deductive (keyword coding) and inductive (token vectorization) approaches. The latter returns a classifier with 98% accuracy. This is the first LDA plot to demonstrate the classification.

Reddit researchers, is there a good explanation out there of what the new API / terms mean for us?

As part of a summer course, I'm teaching a few weeks about reproducible research workflows.

I'm planning on talking about Makefiles + READMEs + Git + file organization - what else should I include, and what are your favorite resources about reproducible research?

@design_law For me: "How do words make identities?"

Similar plot with tokens instead of coded themes.

#Introduction: I am a PhD-candidate at #WUR where I do comparative research on the impact of data-driven political campaigning. I am interested in all things #PoliticalCommunication and #computationalSocialScience

I think I've figured out the visualization of the evangelical identity boundary work on Twitter over time. This analysis is based on keyword theme coding.
#Sociology #SocialPsych #DiscourseAnalysis #ComputationalSocialScience #Python

It has taken me a while to warm up to it, but I see why people like Visual Studio Code.
#Python #DiscourseAnalysis #ComputationalSocialScience

Fortunately, I was mostly done with the data acquisition from Twitter for my Evangelical identity formation research. I was hoping to go farther back in time to be able to (eventually) discuss trends, but now that the public API is ending, it may not be possible. I can, at least, discuss identity formation in the Trumpist period. #Sociology #SocialPsych #DiscourseAnalysis #Python #ComputationalSocialScience

This looks extremely promising! #ComputationalSocialScience https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-16624-2

The best (source: the organizers) pre-conference of #ica23 now has an application form! It is open to all skill levels, especially aimed at early career scholars!
Everything is explained in the thread and the form by @hackingcommsci - but if anything comes up just let us know.
