CONTRIBUTORS: Sophanna Ek, Marco Curci, Xiaokun Yang, Beiyu Lin, Hailu Xu
Millions of COVID-19 related tweets have been collected, processed, analyzed, and gender classified from Februrary 2020 to Februrary 2021.
- Data collection and processing
- Analysis methods
- Sentiment analysis
- Twitter Gender classification based on tweet content
The research focused on Tweet batch processing sentimental analysis and spam dectection on covid-19 related tweets in three categories: economy, politics and vaccine related. I've always had a hugh interest on Big Data and streaming processing, but I couldn't be able to work on the streaming processing due to the limited time and resources during the semester. Therefore, I've decided to continue this research on my own.
