General Purpose Social Media Analytics
Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject SummaryTwitter is a social media site, and its primary purpose is to connect people and allow people to share their thoughts with a big audience. Many people use it to report incidents happening around the world. We propose to develop a general purpose tool to perform different type of analysis on tweets posted on twitter. The tool will be modular to support extensions in future. It will allow the organizations to simply add new modules without changing the overall functionality, or to update an existing module. For example, a module about detecting sentiments of people can help the government and non-government organizations to understand the sentiments of people. Similarly, a module of detecting events can help identifying events happening in situations like a disaster. A module regarding tourism will help the government to understand which areas are most visited by tourists and what problems are faced by them. Although any kind of module can be implemented and added to the system, but for this project at least two modules related to sentiments and events will be implemented. The tool will display results in the form of intuitive reports, charts, and graphs. The system will allow these charts to be easily customizable.
Project ObjectivesFollowing are the objectives of this system:
1. Main purpose of this project is to dynamic extension based system in which extensions can be added without changing the source code of the project.
2 It will help government and non-government organizations for their policy making based on people feedback on social media
3. To help differnent organizations to perform various type of analysis such as: Topic analysis, Sentiment analysis, Space analysis, Time analysis in a user-friendly and intuitive manner.
Project Implementation MethodTools & API
- Twitter Search & Filter API
- Python programming language
- Django
- Google Maps API
- Graph API's for Visualization
- Scikit learn
- NLTK
Implementation Process
Four modules of this project mentioned in the project summary:
- Crawler for fetching tweets from twitter
- Analyzer for analyzing tweets
- Visualizer for visualizing tweets
- Module manager will allow to add new modules in future without changing source code of the project.
Following are the benifits of this project:
- It helps the government and non-government organizations for their policy making for some good based on the analysis.
- To help organizations to determine reaction of people on specific topic and take appropriate actions.
- Extension based implementation of the project will help a variety of organizations to implement modules which support their requirements
Final deliverables of this project:
- Module extention feature which will allow to add new modules in future, e.g., sentiment analysis can be added.
- Existing modules can be updated or deleted
- A crawler module which fetches tweets from Twitter and passes to the modules.
- Sentiment analysis module which will perform analysis on tweets
- Data visualizer will display useable results of analysis using different graphs, charts, word cloud, network grpah
