Memecry:Tracing the Repetition-with-Variation of Formulas on 4chan/pol/

Datasets underlying the analysis of the paper "Memecry: Tracing the Repetition-with-Variation of Formulas on 4chan/pol/ This upload includes the following: <strong>seedwords.csv: </strong>A .csv file with terms we used as a seed list to filter for 4chan/pol/-post containing vernacular. <strong>seedword-network_x.gdf/gephi: </strong>.gdf and .gephi network files for NPMI-weighted co-word networks of /pol/-posts. We only included posts that contained one of the aforementioned seed list words. <strong>twoflow-data_x.xlsx: </strong>.xlsx files with data on triplets common to 4chan/pol/. We identified these three-word sequences through the above network files. For example: "gr8 b8 m8", "orange man bad", "lurk moar newfag". The Excel data on these triplet includes: The absolute amount of /pol/-posts per year mentioning the triplets (within a window of five words). The average NPMI scores between the three triplet words per year. The top co-words per year having an average NPMI higher than 0.18 with <em>two of the three</em> triplet words. <strong>triplets.csv</strong>: A .csv file with the extracted triplets, including their common appearance as memetic phrases and a short explanation. This data was used for "two-flow graphs" available at oilab.eu/formulas/. See the paper for full explanations on the data.
