Link to slides.com presentation

Using a corpus of 988,000 tweets retrieved from Twitter's Search API from January to April 2015 containing the words "feminism", "feminist" or "feminists", we trained a classifier to label them as pro-feminist, anti-feminist or neither (regardless of sentiment), and determined the most characteristic words used by each group with the log-likelihood keyness method.

GRAPHS:

• Most Characteristic Words in Pro and Anti Feminist Tweets
• Low Activity Accounts vs All Accounts
