Description
This is a hands-on workshop on analyzing Social Media Data using Cloud Databases, specifically Google Cloud Platform's BigQuery. In this session, you'll learn how to leverage existing Reddit and other publicly available datasets in the cloud, import additional data, and perform meaningful analyses relevant to social science research. By the end of this workshop, you will:
• Understand the basics of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and BigQuery.
• Explore and query public datasets on BigQuery, focusing on Reddit and Wikipedia data.
• Perform complex SQL queries to extract meaningful insights from large datasets.
• Cross-reference Reddit and Wikipedia data with other public datasets.
• Import external data (e.g., data available through the UC Berkeley Library) into BigQuery.
• Use Python and PRAW to scrape recent Reddit data and import it into BigQuery.
• Develop skills in data analysis relevant to computational social science.
