Keywords and peak dates #2

Open beyzabani opened 1 year ago

beyzabani commented 1 year ago

Hey Amanda and Marius,

I was thinking about how we can combine the keywords and the peak dates into a nice visualization. Do we even need to combine them at all, or should we just create word clouds with a few common words for each peak date?

I'm looking forward to reading your comments!

Hey Beyza! Thanks for your suggestion :) Maybe we could create wordclouds for one or two peak dates, for example the month (November 2016 I think) the UK were debating airstrikes on Syria and terrorists attacked Paris. I think for the most months the data gets a little noisy after the first 5 keywords and we get words like "says", "terrorism", "isis" which don't give much new information.

Just let me know what you think :)

Hey again! I made a wordcloud for all the Syrian data and added the code and the visualisation. It's not eaxctly winning any graphic design competitions but we can tweak the colour scheme and rotation which will hopefully help a bit :)
