Development of concept and methodology for multi-level monitoring of the state of interethnic relations with the data from social media

The goal of the project "Development of concept and methodology for multi-level monitoring of the state of interethnic relations with the data from social media" was to provide government officials, non-governmental organizations, and researchers with a well-tested methodology and a convenient tool to monitor the discussion of the problems of ethnicity and nationality by Internet users. The end result of our project should contain methodical recommendations and software tools for the analysis of text data mined from social networks. Our approach to monitoring is based on topic modeling, a class of algorithms that analyze cooccurrences of words in texts and based on this data find latent topics in text corpora that would be much too large to read for a human. The result of such an algorithm includes the probabilities of documents expressing certain topics and words appearing in a certain topic, which provides the user with a concise representation of the topical structure of the collection and distinguished texts that best represent specific topics. This approach is augmented with automated sentiment analysis and visualization of distributions of ethnic-related topics over regional and temporal structure of the collection. Thus, an analyst gets a graphic representation of where, when, with what polarity (positive or negative), and in what specific context certain ethnic groups are being discussed on the Web.
