To address the abovementioned challenges, we propose to build a repository of cyber-risk articles with an NLP powered search tool that can easily be used by researchers to find relevant materials. https://davidan.dev/research/uconnscrape/ Tue, 01 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://davidan.dev/research/uconnscrape/ Scraping Web Data for Academic Literature Done in collaboration with Dr. Emiliano Valdez1, University of Connecticut Goals How obvious are actual trends in academic literature and how can we easily gather academic literature metadata? The purpose of the exploratory study was to develop and analyze different methods of data retrieval from multiple sources. Given a text search within context, we should be able to retrieve a list of articles that contain that segment of text. https://davidan.dev/research/fadenet/ Wed, 12 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://davidan.dev/research/fadenet/ FaDe-Net [Writeup] David An - AP Research Project Abstract The rapid development of social media and online news outlets has accelerated the spread of fake news across the internet. The accessibility and convenience of social media has further driven the drastic change of information consumption. As a consequence, fake news has become a significant concern because of 1) its inevitable exposure to large populations and 2) the potential to cause significant damage in modern society.
