7:00 – 5:00 VTX

• Oliver, J. Eric, and Thomas J. Wood. “Conspiracy theories and the paranoid style (s) of mass opinion.” American Journal of Political Science 58.4 (2014): 952-966., and the Google Scholar page of papers that cite this. Looking for insight as to the items that make (a type of?) person believe false information.
• This follows up on an On the Media show called To Your Health, that had two interesting stories: An interview with John Bohannon, who published the intentionally bad study on chocolate, and an interview with Taryn Harper Wright, a blogger who chases down cases of Munchausen by Internet, and says that excessive drama is a strong indicator of this kind of hoax.
• Reading Social Media and Trust during the Gezi Protests in Turkey.
  • Qualitative study that proposes Social Trust and System Trust
    • Social Trust
    • System Trust
• Hibernating Moderately
  • Working on the dictionary
  • Working on the Corpus
    • Name
    • Date created
    • Source URL
    • Raw Content
    • Cleaned Content
    • Importer
    • Word count
    • guid
  • I think I’ll need a table that has the word id that points to a corpus and gives the count of that word in that corpus. The table gets updated whenever a dictionary is run against a corpus. Since words are not shared between dictionaries (Java != Java), getting the corpus to dictionary relationship is straightforward if needed.
  • Created a GuidBase that handles the name, id, and guid code that’s shared across most of the items.
  • Discovered Jsoup, which has some nice (fast?) html parsing.
  • Finished most of Corpus. Need to add a join to users. Done
  • Added BaseDictionary.
  • Added BaseDictionaryEntry.
  • Working on getting a join table working that maps words to corpora and am getting a “WARN: SQL Error: 1062, SQLState: 23000”. I was thinking that I could create a new HashMap, but I think I may have to point to the list in a different way. Here’s the example from JustHibernate:

            session.beginTransaction();
            Showroom showroom = new Showroom();
            showroom.setLocation("East Croydon, Greater London");
            showroom.setManager("Barry Larry");
            Set cars = new HashSet();
            
            cars.add(new Car("Toyota", "Racing Green"));
            cars.add(new Car("Nissan", "White"));
            cars.add(new Car("BMW", "Black"));
            cars.add(new Car("Mercedes", "Silver"));
    
            showroom.setCars(cars);
            
            session.save(showroom);
            
            session.getTransaction().commit();

  • Where the Showroom class has the Cars Set annotation as follows:

     @OneToMany
        @JoinTable
        (name="SHOWROOM_CAR_SET_ANN_JOINTABLE",
         joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name="SHOWROOM_ID")
         )
        @Cascade(CascadeType.ALL)
        private Set cars = null;
    

  • Anyway, more tomorrow…
  • Start on queries that:
    • List networks for users
    • List dictionaries for users
    • List Corpora
