[Air-L] Tracing the Trump impeachment narrative on Twitter with AI -- Biden winds up getting attacked

[Sarah Ann Oates]

Dear AoIRists,

I am sad I am not at the fabulous conference but happy to share some recent
work that might be of interest. I work with an AI startup called
MarvelousAI and we did some interesting tracking of the impeachment
narrative on Twitter, here's a blog about it:

It's been a fun journey working with a start-up, where things are done in
hours rather than months. Also, I am sure I drive them crazy with obscure
references etc. but I have to say it's been really incredibly fun. We also
did a paper together for the American Political Science Association meeting
this year and they got a taste of pol comm world :) *Running While
Female *analyzes
how the Democratic female candidates for president are being talked about
on Twitter and you can get it here:

Any feedback or thoughts (on the papers or on the idea of working with
start-ups) welcome!

Sarah
