Python version of the scripts is now also available.

Note the demonstration videos only cover R and R-studio version. https://github.com/M3SOulu/TrendMiningPython

Demo Videos

These demonstration videos show step-by-step execution in R and R-studio

Part1 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTUjKYPvVhe740QdY6nsn6vB3gJ1BQnVQ (this video talks about Initialize.R file. Currently it is better to use ClassroomSpecificSettings.r file. Both will work but the latter is smarter)

Part2 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTUjKYPvVhe79AU7knMRBnYvloUeiEXdi

Part3 https://youtu.be/xCRQ-1hNOzo

Part4 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTUjKYPvVhe7bN6zabGnrIxd8cw1SW9sw

Mini User Guide

If you are a student in Next Generation Software Engineering at University of Oulu please ask more help from course assistant in the exercises. In other cases you may email prof. Mika Mäntylä [email protected]

Scripts

  1. Edit and execute Initialize.R
  • Set-up environment variables => work directory, path to GetOldTweets-java-master folder, StackOverflow API key & Scopus API key

  • Execute the file line by line (shortcut CTRL+Enter)

    If you are using IT center computers, you can alternatively run ClassRoomSpecificSettings.r to create local directories for libraries, and data, to solve the network drive problems. Remember to change the API keys to the ones you have created for the sources.

  1. Input - Pull out data from different sources

    2.1. Open file GetScopusData.R and execute line by line fashion. Note in first run you need to uncomment early lines and install packages Observe different variables in the environment. There is also commented out skeleton for turning this into function. After successful execution you a data file. Please verify that the data file exists.

    2.2 Do the same for GetStackOverflowData.R and GetTwitterData.R Function files that fetch the data should not need editing (FunctionsScopusApi.R, FunctionsStackOverflowApi.R, FunctionsTwitterApi.R)

  2. Output

    3.1. Start with text mining basics. File DtmAndDendogramClustering.R contains functionality for document clustering. Execute it line by line fashion for all of your data sets.

    3.2. Investigate Word clouds (Wordcloud.R) and Dissimilarity Clouds (ComparisonCloud.R)

    3.3 Plot timelines (Timelines.R) to see how your data behaves over time. You may also do additional statistical plots and test, e.g. does question/title length affect upvotes/retweets/cites

    3.4. Search for optimal LDA model (BuildOptimalLdaModel.R)

    3.5. Investigate the trends in the optimal LDA model (AnalyzeOptimalLdaModel.R)

    3.6. Do interactive LDA cluster exploration. Note: you might want to have less clusters (smaller k) than what is mathematically optimal (InteractiveLdaCluster.R). As exploring hundreds of clusters in screen is not very easy.

Extra Point: The libraries can be installed using install.packages if they are missing.

History

These scripts were first developed in 2015 for both teaching and research purposes. Versions of these scripts have been used in the course Emerging Trends in Software Engineering (811600S) and Next Generation Software Engineering (811606S) at the University of Oulu and in the following papers.
