Package: reveal-user-classification
Performs user classification into labels using a set of seed Twitter users with known labels and the structure of the interaction network between them.FeaturesImplementation of the [REVEAL FP7](http://revealproject.eu/) user-network-profile-classifier module.Utilization of ARCTE algorithm for graph embedding via [reveal-graph-embedding](https://github.com/MKLab-ITI/reveal-graph-embedding).Community weighting for improved graph-based user classification and via [reveal-graph-embedding](https://github.com/MKLab-ITI/reveal-graph-embedding).Twitter list crowdsourcing for user annotation via [reveal-user-annotation](https://github.com/MKLab-ITI/reveal-user-annotation).Messaging and communication with databases via [reveal-user-annotation](https://github.com/MKLab-ITI/reveal-user-annotation).Install### Required packages

To install for all users on Unix/Linux:python3.4 setup.py build
sudo python3.4 setup.py installAlternatively:pip install reveal-user-classificationReveal-FP7 IntegrationThe name of the entry point script is user_network_profile_classifier.user_network_profile_classifier -uri $MONGO_DB_URI -id $MONGO_ASSESSMENT_ID

-unpcdb $USER_NETWORK_PROFILE_CLASSIFIER_MONGO_DBThe following two arguments are for establishing a connection to a Mongo database and
accessing the documents in a collection.$MONGO_DB_URI example: “mongodb://admin:123456@127.0.0.1:27017”$MONGO_ASSESSMENT_ID example: “new_tweets_database_name.new_tweets_collection_name”, separated by a “.” as shown.The following two arguments are for using a Twitter app in order to fetch data from Twitter.$TWITTER_APP_KEY and $TWITTER_APP_SECRET: Both are taken from one’s created app in the Twitter development site.The following four arguments are for publishing messages to a RabbitMQ queue.
The queue is used both for publishing a “SUCCESS” message at completion,
but also for publishing the results of the module.$AMQP_URI example: amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//One must also supply: $AMQP_QUEUE_NAME, $AMQP_EXCHANGE and $AMQP_ROUTING_KEYThere are some optional arguments that can be considered. The following three can be used either together or apart;
otherwise all of the tweets in the collection will be read.$LATEST_N: The N latest chronologically documents will be read from the defined collection.
In order for this to work properly, the “created_at” field of the tweets must be in the proper time format as defined by MongoDB.$LOWER_TIMESTAMP: A UNIX timestamp; based on the created_at tweet field. Only tweets after this timestamp will be used for the analysis.$UPPER_TIMESTAMP: Similarly, for an upper limit.The following four arguments set various parameters for the execution of the module.$NUMBER_OF_PARALLEL_TASKS: Number of parallel tasks initiated for each assessment analysis launch. If not specified, tries to set as number of cores.$NUMBER_OF_USERS_TO_ANNOTATE: Number of users to annotate automatically, using Twitter data. Each user requires approximately at least an additional minute. Default value is 90. For faster testing, try a smaller number.Some intermediate data and the resulting user-to-topic association will be written in a Mongo database on the same Mongo client used for the input.$USER_NETWORK_PROFILE_CLASSIFIER_MONGO_DB: A distinctive name should be chosen so as not to interfere with the databases reserved for input data. The collection in which the results are written is: “user_topics_collection”.The entry point script can be viewed on /reveal_user_classification/entry_points/user_network_profile_classifier.py
