Parsing Projects

Social Network Extraction
- Approach to extracting social networks from literature
- Social network graphing (relationship graphing)
- Comparison of literature-based social network graphs by author and genre
- Applications of sentiment analysis to social network extraction and graphing
- Security applications of social network mining (e.g., online news sources)
Sentiment Analysis
- Twitter Sentiment Analysis & Tracking (parsing, retargetable approach, online interface for colleagues)
- Investigate Twitter archives cost
- Investigate new Twitter APIs available to mine historical Twitter data
- Design of a retargetable sentiment analyzer
- Automatic sentiment dictionary building
- Sentiment analysis for gender/political/racial bias detection
Document analysis
- Fake research paper detection
- Parts of Speech graphing (parsing), develop tool for graphing POS use over course of novel
- Reading Level graphing (parsing), develop tool for graphing reading level over content of a research paper
- How to characterize a fake paper vs. a real paper (classification, machine learning approaches, etc.)
Film analysis
- Cinemetrics of film (French, otherwise)
- Automatic detection of scene length, scene characterization (close up, two shot, establishing shot, etc.)
- Classification using cinemetrics by genre, filmmaker, period, country, etc.

Education Projects

Experiences with conjoined approach to interdisciplinary computer science education (CS and French collaboration)
