Data-Driven Content Analysis of Social Media: A Systematic Overview of Automated Methods

By H. ANDREW SCHWARTZ and LYLE UNGAR
REF: google.com/url?client=int…

"One only needs to plan the outcomes they are interested in and the types of language features (e.g., words or topics) they would like to associate, and let the data tell the story"

"Data-driven techniques can work toward two goals for social science: prediction and insight".

"Prediction focuses on automatic estimation or measurement of specific psychosocial outcomes from word use, for example, depression from social media (De Choudhury et al. 2013); personality from conversations (Mairesse et al. 2007);...

...or POLITICAL IDEOLOGY"

"...one is often interested in people or in communities. People... and vote DEMOCRAT or REPUBLICAN.

Data are often available at the COUNTY LEVEL, allowing one to correlate words in tweets originating from a county with health, crime, or POLITICAL LEANINGS."

"...we know the demographics of #FACEBOOK and #TWITTER, and corrections in the style of stratified sampling can be made."

"...most men do not try to portray themselves as women; nor do DEMOCRATS masquerade as REPUBLICANS."

"DEMOCRATS may drink more lattes than REPUBLICANS, but this does not imply that coffee consumption causes liberal voting (or even the converse)...

...One can, however, gain suggestions of possible causal links by looking at longitudinal data."

"(e.g., How do people change before and after an unpredicted traumatic event?)"

So.

Now that we have the methods to MINE, DEFINE and CATEGORIZE the DATA and TARGETED PEOPLE, how do we MANIPULATE them?

Well, maybe there's an 'APP' for that, too...

"Decision making frequently includes an emotional component. Humans make irrational decisions due to extenuating circumstances. Acquiring BehaviorMatrix's technology and key patent will allow us to better understand the emotional drivers impacting the decision-making process."

"We also provide actionable insights..."

So here, above, we combine at least two facets of Social Media Influencing: Data Mining and then Influencing after the Data is Mined and Aggregated

Various 'notorius players' and now 'previously obscure players' incl CIA and RUSSIAN AGENTS have been included/threaded, here.

MR. SCHIFF:

Turning back to the DIGITAL OPERATIONS, how did BRAD PARSCALE and his firm fit into the digital operation?

MR. KUSHNER:

So when I was looking at doing MICROTARGETING, I wanted to start figuring out how I could spend money.

MR. SCHIFF:

Who hired CAMBRDGE ANALYTICA?

MR. KUSHNER:

"So we looked at them DURING THE PRIMARIES.

When we were ramping up... the MERCERS asked us to meet with this guy NIX who's the CEO.

SO I MET THE GUY, INTRODUCED HIM TO Brad."

KUSHNER:

"At that point, we really weren't doing DIGITAL TARGETING of VOTERS through DATA"

MR. SCHIFF:

And WHO WAS THE BEST of the DATA ANALYTIC FIRMS that you used?

MR. KUSHNER:

I think the RNC DATA actually was THE BEST DATA that we had.

MR. KUSHNER:

"Brad was the guy that did the digital stuff for me. ... there's a lot of vendors coming in wanting to do different things, and we were trying to build-- keep in mind, most campaigns... have a list of vendors that they use."

MR. SCHIFF:

"And DID THEY GENERATE the TARGETING INFORMATION, or was the targeting information supplied to CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA?

MR. KUSHNER:

YOU'LL HAVE TO ASK BRAD that."

"MR. SCHIFF:

And do you know whether Cambridge Analytica received any targeting information or any other information from outside parties?

MR. KUSHNER:

I don't know."

"MR. SCHIFF:

Do you know whether Cambridge Analytica had any relationship with foreign nationals that was utilized during the campaign?

MR. KUSHNER:

I don't know."

"MR. SCHIFF:

Do you know whether they received any TARGETING INFORMATION from any RUSSIAN sources?

MR. KUSHNER:

I don't know."

"MR. SCHIFF:

And do you know whether there was any kind of coordination by Cambridge Analytica in the either targeting of voters or the dissemination of information, working in cooperation with RUSSIAN nationals?

MR. KUSHNER:

I don't know."
