Was anything found that was not already well-known?
The article states:
"Wrap Up
... we’ve scraped hundreds of thousands of articles, created text classifiers... and gotten insights from the results. The only way to perform an analysis like this is using machine learning and natural language processing, since there’s no way we can get a person to read through and interpret 270,000 articles."
I would have to say
- there's always sampling, and
- ask or read the reports of an expert, since they live in their respective news spaces.
- rsteca 10y agowhy asking an expert when you can ask the data?
- arca_vorago 10y agoBecause you need an expert to make sense of the data? Which is why I am trying to transition to data science from sysadmin at the moment. So I don't need no stinkin middle men.
