Project functions

Data collection

Introduction

Collect tweets by ID via twitter API. Export collected tweets into files

Usage

• Enter personal Twitter keys in DatacollectionScript.py  
• Customize "fileNames" in “DatacollectionScript.py” by choosing different name of Tweets ID files from SplitAs90000 folder
• Corresponding data files will be generated based on Tweets ID file. Such as “xaaData.pkl","xabData.pkl” and " xacData.pkl"

Data injection to Mysql

Introduction

• Read tweets data from tweets data file, such as “xaaData.pkl", by running MainEntry.py
• Build SQL statements
• Insert Tweets information (InsertTweetsStatement.py)
  • Insert or update user information (InsertUserStatement.py and UpdateUserStatement.py)
  • Execute statement and store tweets into MySQL (InjectTweet2Mysql.py)

Usage

• Required Database Scheme and Code
• Customize two variables in dataInjectionFromPickle2DB Folder
  • Change database setting at file Connect2Db.py
  • Customize variable "c” for different collected tweets files at MainEntry.py

GUI

Introduction

There are three interfaces:

• Interface_GenerateFeature:
  • Generate features from chosen database to individual text file
  • Read specified feature file and demonstrate features
• Interface_Training.py:
  • Partition data into two parts training and testing
  • Training model and test by SVM or DT
  • Export confusion matrix result and predicted result into files
• Interface_Training_NFolder.py:
  • Partition data by N-folder.
  • Training model and test by SVM or DT
  • Export confusion matrix result into files

Usage

1. Interface_GenerateFeature:

• GetFeature Button will call a function to generate feature in generateFeature Folders
  • The features will store into a text file called "tweetsFeatureData.pkl"
• Move "tweetsFeatureData.pkl" file into GUI_temp Folders
• Choose this "tweetsFeatureData.pkl" file at “Interface_GenerateFeature” GUI
• Then, 10 tweets ID will be available in a dropdown list.
• The feature information will be demonstrated after choosing a tweet ID.

2. Interface_Training.py:

• Data partitioning
  • Choose a tweet feature file like “tweetsFeatureData.pkl” in drop down list
  • Set Training data and test data ratio.
  • Click the button on “Partitioning DataSet”
  • Partition result will be distributed into three files
  • data_pickle.pkl: training data and testing data
  • target_pickle.pkl: training target and testing target
  • IDs_pickle.pkl: training ID and testing ID
• Model Training
  • Choose parameters on DT or SVM
  • Choose a file path for confusion matrix result
  • Choose a file path for predicted result
  • Click button on DT or SVM
    • The confusion matrix result will be demonstrated in both GUI and exported to the specified file path
    • The Predicted result will be export the specified file path

3. Interface_Training_NFolder.py:

• Model Training
  • Choose a tweet feature file like “tweetsFeatureData.pkl” in drop down list
  • Set numbers of folder
  • Choose parameters on DT or SVM
  • Choose a file path for predicted result
  • Click button on DT or SVM
    • The Predicted result will be export the specified file
