Hebrew Twitter
Israeli politics through the lens of Twitter users
The Hebrew Twitter project is an ongoing effort of my Ph.D. laboratory (NASLB). This endeavor encompasses the extensive collection of Hebrew Twitter data since 2018, resulting in a substantial corpus of approximately 400 million Tweets. Spearheading the data collection initiative is Omer Neu, a dedicated Master’s student affiliated with the NASLAB.
I am involved in some of the efforts of this project, dealing with Hebrew NLP and general machine-learning research questions. I use natural language processing (NLP) as well as social network analysis (SNA) tools while working on this project.
Some of the efforts I take part in, related to this project:
- HaParlament Project. The project is an attempt to dynamically reflect the expressions of gratitude and the political fault lines on Hebrew Twitter. Sources: Project introduction (Hebrew); HaParlament Website (Hebrew); Media coverage (Ynet, Hebrew)
