]]> Comment on bias mining in political bloggers’ link patterns by Joshua Gerrish http://blog.logicalrealism.org/2008/11/10/bias-mining-in-political-bloggers-link-patterns/comment-page-1/#comment-21266 Joshua Gerrish Sun, 08 Feb 2009 19:33:53 +0000 http://blog.logicalrealism.org/?p=69#comment-21266 Vahed Qazvivian, Xiaodong Shi and I used co-training instead of SVD to analyze political blog posts. In addition to labeling blog posts, we also did an analysis of the accuracy of the labeling. There's a link to the course paper here: http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~cscott/past_courses/eecs545/projects/ We attempted to label blogs based on a mixture of post content, ingoing and outgoing links. Results weren't that promising, but we made a couple of design decisions that were probably responsible for this. For one thing, we aggregated all posts for each blog and looked at the blog-level leaning. If you're interested in any of the data or code, feel free to contact me.
