Media Cloud Elections Dashboard Backend

Steps to run code automatically:

The goal of this repository is to create a script that runs every week to cluster the data.

This can be done using the script run_code_in_docker.sh using the commands:

cd mc_dashboard pipeline
sh ./run_code_in_docker.sh

This needs to be run as a cron job which runs everyday at a set time. It collects data from the day before. On every Monday it runs clustering in addition to data collection.

Script to run experiments on SLURM:

cd mc_dashboard pipeline
python run_experiments_on_full_pipeline_slurm.py

This creates config files based on parameters in the .py file and runs the pipeline end to end.
