Update on Part 2 of my article series discussing #NLP/data science analysis of the Mueller Report:

• new "clean" source of OCRed text found, and will be used for all further articles in the series
• I found an excellent "coreference" tool that I will demonstrate and train

1/6
"coreference": when a noun (e.g. full name) is used once in a paragraph, and that noun is referred to later using another form (e.g. last name, or pronoun). This screenshot from a web-based demo shows how three "coreferences" have been de-referenced to their root.

2/6 Screenshot showing the phrase
"Manafort" and "He" are shown with arrows pointing to "Paul Manafort", indicating that those words were de-referenced back to the full name." src="/images/1px.png" data-src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D5I9_PiWsAAtSaH.jpg">
I have trained this particular tool using the list of references provided at the end of the report, and it works well.

• de-referencing relative dates, and how I did it
• showing only relevant tweets from the correlated timeline using simple text classification tricks

I'll be aiming to finish Part 2 by Sunday. This isn't my day job at (looking to change that!); I only have off-hours to spare. The next part should be an easier read for non-tech folks, and have a nice pay-off at the end about social networks and the text you write online.

The next stage of the timeline is going to be much nicer! If you'd like to show your support for this effort, I always appreciate likes/retweets/comments/questions. If you're able, the gift of Venmo is a great way to keep me caffeinated while I analyze the report. 😊

Part 2 will also be the first to be split into two versions: one, intended for everyone, and written to teach you about the tech behind the analysis; and two, the code itself, separate from the article.

Thanks for your support!

Part 1 is here:
