My KIPP Blog – Week 4
As mentioned in the course Postdigital Society, the 21st century is a post-digital era where there is no distinction between online and offline, and the realm of reality has expanded into the realm of the imaginary. For example, many new monopolistic Internet companies (Amazon, Google, Facebook, ByteDance, etc.) have created the Internet industry as an arena of capital, a new source of power beyond the political economy. These platforms have merged the virtual world with the physical world, transformed the structure of space-time, and created a “cyber republic”. In the metaverse world, this fusion will become seamless. On the one hand, it amplifies the potential for rational dialogue among people and provides new opportunities for democratic participation; on the other hand, it amplifies negative emotions among people and accelerates the spread of negative information such as falsehood, fraud, terror, and violence.
The wave of total digitization brings a sense of disorder. In this case, how to obtain useful information from the Internet, which is flooded with a large amount of information, is a hot point worth studying. Text mining becomes a good tool for discerning information, allowing us to discover possible and useful knowledge patterns from the large amount of unstructured or semi-structured text data. In the intensive days of this course, I mainly got to know how to extract and mine unknown information from a large amount of raw and unprocessed documents, which can allow me to quickly get effective information in a large amount of cluttered information, make judgments for relevant problems, and even make predictions based on the mined information. In week 5, I need to review the commands related to text mining and organize the program ideas for this course.
