Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm putting dinner together but I'd be happy to run UM if you would like me to. In exchange would you read the paper so you can understand how the sentiment analysis works? Its important for hypothesis testing. You need to set up good hypotheses for this to be effective.I'm going to down load their comment database now. You work on coming up with some hypotheses.
@satansmaggotycumfart@[email protected]
I'm downloading the data and will save it to disk, but am about to sit down to dinner. I'll save the output and either drop the hypotheses you want to test here or dm me, but I may not respond tonight.
Oh, that’s the reason you won’t, right?
Because I’m not a computer scientist so I can’t understand the sentiment analysis and come up with appropriate hypotheses?
You were able to for me so why aren’t you able to again?
The fuck are you talking about. I literally said I was doing it in my response.
Bruh this is why you come up as a troll in so much of your comments.
Maybe work on your reading comprehension.
I’m glad you proved my point that you are unwilling or unable to perform the same analysis that you claimed you did on me.
I'm literally setting up for that right now, and for the third time you are accusing of not doing exactly what I'm trying to do for you. It takes a while to download all the comments. I'll let you know when I have them.
That’s the part you might be having troubles with.
I’ve tried telling you that a couple times now.
You were able to do it for me, so there’s no reason you can’t for someone else.
Did you open the paper and read it? The hypothesis are very simple.
They need to be set up with two parts, the first a predicate, then the second part is a couple options..
So for example a hypothesis can be set up in two parts as follows:
Part A:
"The author of this comment { } about a border wall"
Part B:
["thinks negatively" | "thinks positively" "is neutral"]
The options are intended to fill in the gap in the curly braces.
The model will give a probabilistic ranking of the three options, so you need to think carefully about how you set up your hypothesis.
Like I said drop them here or dm me and I can run them once I've scrapped UMs comments.
[Edit: I've got UM's comments, and I've saved them to disk. Let me know if you've got your questions ready, or if you still need help understanding how to set up a hypothesis]
[Addendum] @[email protected]
I'm going to give you a worked example.
This is on UM's most recent comment:
So I set up the predicate:
'The author of this post {} Joe Biden.'
with the options:
['supports', 'opposes', 'is not talking about']
and we get the result:
{'sequence': 'She was on my ballot, so she is a candidate. I don’t know how to explain this any better.',
'labels': ['is not talking about', 'supports', 'opposes'],
'scores': [0.9906510710716248, 0.008063388988375664, 0.0012855551904067397]}
So this comment we would score as "not talking about Joe Biden". Anything you can think of that can fit within that framework. I dont know UM, but you seem to, so you probably know what would be interesting to ask.
