Open tjakester opened 7 years ago

About the group (active tonight)

The Chicago Justice Project has had a project ongoing for five years where we are scraping Chicago media sites to capture crime, violence, and justice news. We want to capture this news, code it, quantify it, and compare to crime as it occurs in Chicago.

Group leaders

Who we're looking for

We are looking to update our scrapers, using the 35,000 articles we have captured and coded to install natural language processing to automate the coding.

I want to know more about this project because I want to scrape news articles that discuss completely different topics.

Are the scrapers hosted on GitHub?

Sorry this end up in my spam folder. Why don’t we talk about his at Hack Night next week?

Hey @tjakester this groups sounds super cool. Have you folks gotten feedback on your projects from users yet, or people who have benefitted from your project?

tjakester commented 7 years ago

@aidenkent13 No. we are pretty far away from working on the front end. We still have a lot of work to do on the natural language processing and the scrapers before we get there.
