COMP814 Text Mining
Assignment 2 (60%)


Due Date
The assignment is due 18 June at midnight.
The assign
ment should be submitted via the Assignment 2 submission Link under Assignment
2 folder on Blackboard.
Assignment
This is assignment can be done either individually or in pairs. If you are new to coding then it
is recommended that you pair up with someone with some coding skills. Only one person
from the pair needs to submit the assignment.

If you are doing the assignment as a pair you should write approximately 12 pages and if you
are doing it individually you should write approximately 6 pages, both excluding the
references and appendices.

Objective
1. To be able to carry out a typical text mining task based on an objective.
2. To document the methodology and the findings in an appropriately formatted scientific
paper suitable for publication in a conference.

Task Resources
You will be using models and code snippets that you developed as part of labs in the python
environment. You will use the dataset provided on Blackboard as a zipped file named
Assignment2BlogData.7z.

Your dataset consists of a set of 19,320 xml formatted text files. These files contain blogs
collected from an anonymous blogging site which have been annotated with various types of
anonymised metadata. The metadata has been integrated into the filenames. The text in each
of the files contains the blogs corresponding to a blogger (as described in the metadata) with
blog dates ranging from approximately 2001 to 2004.
NOTE: Depending on the power of the machine you are using, it might take too long to
process the whole dataset in one go. You might have to pre-process in various stages to
reduce the data size in order to fit into your computational capacity. You might have to even
end up with having to use a subset of the data size. You should fully describe whatever you
do to fit into the computational capacity of your machine, if you do.

Task Brief
You are employed by an innovation company who has bought the blogs with the objective of
innovating new products/services based on what people have been talking about on popular
blog sites.

In particular your boss wants to know the two most popular topics that the bloggers have been
talking about in the following demographics :
a) Males
b) Females
c) Age brackets <=20 and over 20.
d) Students
e) Everyone
Task Requirements
In order to achieve the objectives of the project, you will firstly need to read in the data,
extract the meta data and segment it into the required demographics.
You will then need to design strategies to extract and cluster topics.

To be consistent within the class, let us use the same definition for a topic. Let us define a
topic to be the mention of an OBJECT or a THING. So, for instance you could simply take
the THING that is mentioned as the highest number of times as the popular topic and
correspondingly the second most popular topic.

Once you get the two most dominant “things” mentioned, expand the topic to be 2 verb/noun
before and 2 verb/noun after the topic. Output them as “what has been said about the
dominant “thing” in terms of the 4 surrounding nouns/verbs.

Repeat what you did using frequency above, but this time use TFIDF. For this consider all the
blogs from one person as a document.

Compare the results from the two modes of counting and comment on which one is more
accurate in your opinion with justifications.

Note that you will need to use various pre-processing techniques such as stemming,
lemmatization, PCA, stop word removal, inter alia, in order to get as accurate results as
possible. The results will need to be evaluated manually and the strategy for evaluation should
be described in your writeup.

Write up

1. You need to document the research project as a scientific paper using latex double
column IEEE conference format. The latex template can be downloaded from
Blackboard.
2. You should also submit a well commented and formatted python code as part of the
appendix.

3. Your paper should describe:

3
a) The task you set out to solve.
b) A literature review of same or similar tasks attempted by other researchers.
c) The details of your strategy to solve the problem. In this part you should
describe the details of how you processed the data from start to finish
including the details of how the data got processed in any external library you
have used (if you have used it).
d) How you ensured the accuracy of your results.
e) The conclusion and how you would do the task differently if you were to do it
again.

Assessment
This assignment contributes 60% towards your course grade.

Approximate marking scheme.


Part of Assignment Mark
Research question and rationale description 10

Treat this as a learning experience rather than an assessment exercise.
