Anyone doing text mining / information extraction / sentiment analysis on WikiLeaks data?
I believe cablegate corpus will be particularly interested. I'd certainly like to see the results on important political issues. Might not be the highest scientific achievement but something tells me it will be heavily cited.
Tom, you are recently doing sentiment analysis, maybe trying to plug it into this thing?
Regards,

Marin

    I was thinking about it. It will require some serious computer power though...

    Iraqi War diaries is 350 MB csv, and Cables that are being released have, well 3.000.000 pages. How much CPU hours is your estimate for the Iraqi War diaries?

    On a decent machine with tons of memory things do not have to be too hard. We have had analyses with a couple of millions of documents before although you are probably not wanting to calculate an SVM on them or even not a K-Means clustering. One single pass and you should be fine in a couple of weeks at maximum.

    Dear Neil,
        thumb up for the initiative.

    I'm in.
    Cablegate, might give a good diplomatic dictionary for a starter.
    I am particularly interested in financial series that might start leaking in January.

    Anyone willing to set up community ed. RapidAnalytics so those who are willing can create their own processes on text mining WikiLeaks?
