Twitter (Delhi 2013)

A Twitter dataset on Delhi Assembly elections 2013. The Delhi Legislative Assembly elections of 2013 was a keenly contested event with three major parties (two old parties, BJP and Congress, and one newly formed party, AAP) winning roughly equal vote share. For testing our system, we used the Twitter search API to collect tweets containing the following hashtags: #BJP, #AAP, #Congress, and #Polls2013. The first three represented the hashtags for the three major parties competing in the elections, whereas the fourth was the most popular hashtag corresponding to the event. We gathered tweets December 9 through 15, 2013. This period corresponds to the week following the declaration of results on December 8, 2013. The obtained dataset has around 20K posts and a connected graph having 548 users and 5.2K edges.

本数据集为面向2013年德里立法议会选举的推特（Twitter）数据集。2013年德里立法议会选举竞争态势激烈，三大参选政党——两大老牌政党印度人民党（BJP）、国大党（Congress），以及新兴成立的平民党（AAP）——的得票率大致持平。为测试本研究研发的系统，我们借助推特（Twitter）搜索应用程序编程接口（Application Programming Interface，API），采集了包含以下话题标签的推文：#BJP、#AAP、#Congress及#Polls2013。其中前三个话题标签分别对应本次选举的三大参选政党，第四个则是与该选举事件相关的最热门话题标签。本次数据采集时段为2013年12月9日至15日，该时段对应2013年12月8日选举结果公布后的一周周期。最终获取的数据集共包含约2万条推文，同时附带一张包含548名用户节点与5200条关联边的连通图。
