论文摘要
几年来,Twitter一直是政治学研究的重点,因为它提供了直接观察政治信息在不同社区的传播的机会。在这里,我们将研究信息传播现象,并专注于负责在Twitter网络上到处传播政治信息的节点。本文试图使用有关最活跃的法国政治转发者的名称和与位置相关的数据的各种技术来填补有关政治转发者人口统计数据的空白。在这里,我将尝试根据性别,语言,位置,教育水平和自我描述的类别陈述这些帐户的分解。为了将有关政治转发者的信息放在上下文中,我们还将创建一类非政治转发者,以对上述变量进行比较。
Twitter has been a focus of research in political science for a few years now as it provides the opportunity to make direct observations on the spread of political information in different communities. Here we will be studying the phenomena of information diffusion, and focus on nodes that are responsible for spreading political information everywhere on the Twitter network. This paper attempts to fill gaps in the literature regarding the demographics of political retweeters using various techniques on the name and location-related data from most active French political retweeters. Here I will try to state the break-down of these accounts in categories based on gender, language, location, education level, and self-descriptions. To put the information about political retweeters in context we will also create a category of non-political retweeters to draw comparisons between the groups regarding the above-mentioned variables.
