Assignment 2 Task Sheet

This document outlines Assignment 2 for a Big Data Analytics course. Students are asked to complete 4 tasks analyzing a Twitter user dataset to identify misinformation. The tasks involve designing an analytics project lifecycle, processing and analyzing the data using regression, association rules, clustering, classification and text processing, visualizing the results, and suggesting how to distinguish human from non-human profiles. Students must submit a report, coding files, and optionally a video presentation to summarize their findings and receive a maximum of 20 marks.

CSCI446/946 Big Data Analytics
Spring 2022

Assignment 2
(20 marks)
Due: 21:00 AEST, 23 September 2022 Friday

Aim
This assignment aims to provide students with essential experience conducting big data
analytics experiments with the R or the Python programming language. In this assignment,
you should
• procedure big data analytics by following Big Data Analytics Lifecycle,
• appropriately choose, apply and evaluate core models/algorithms and analytics
techniques to complete the analysis tasks,
• understand and integrate the knowledge and skills learned in this subject, including
big data analytics lifecycle, data preparation, clustering, classification, regression,
association rules, data/model evaluation, data visualization and text processing.

Group work: You are to work on this assignment as a group. Each group is to work
independently from other groups on this assignment. Groups and group memberships are
as specified on Moodle. All group members are expected to contribute to this assignment.
Group members may use communications tools (e.g., UOW Zoom, UOW Webex, UOW
Teams, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, etc.) and online collaboration workspace (e.g., UOW
OneDrive, Google Drive, GitHub, ZenHub, etc.) to complete the assignment. Please plan
before starting the assignment, then keep a detail digital work log and timesheet for each
group member. A justification and/or explanations must accompany all your answers to this
assignment. One submission per group only.

Penalties: If a group member fails to make a minimum contribution, the member will be
awarded zero marks. Claims of less or no contribution should provide evidence like a work
log. Plagiarism of any part in this assignment will result in zero marks being awarded to the
whole group.

Preliminaries
Read through the lecture slides, lab instructions and the recommended readings in Weeks 1
– 9. Conduct relevant background studies. You should use either R or Python for the tasks in
this assignment. You can use any publicly accessible toolbox of library for R and Python.
Your submission must include the source code file(s) which, when run, would re-create all
your results.

About Dataset and Original Project
The dataset for Assignment 2 was originally used to train a CrowdFlower AI gender
predictor. You can read all about the project here. Contributors have been posting code and
discussion on the web. The resources can motivate your design of Assignment 2. NOTE:
Assignment 2 is different to any public project. Copy from any public project will lead to
zero mark for Assignment 2. The dataset contains 20,000 rows, each with a user name, a
random tweet, account profile and image, location, and even link and sidebar color. Detail
dataset overview is available in “Twitter User Data.pdf”.

Essential Tasks of Assignment 2


Assignment 2 aims to find some misinformation on the social network, i.e., identify the
mistakely recorded human / non-human profiles, focusing on the twitter_user_data
dataset. Your essential tasks include the following Tasks 1-4.

Task 1: Design a big data analytics project by following Big Data Analytics Lifecycle. (3 marks)
Task 2: Process data in different types and having different properties, and correspondingly
apply (mandatory) core models/algorithms. They are regression, association rules,
clustering, classification, and text processing. (10 marks)
Task 3: Visualize the data and visualization for evaluations. (5 marks)
Task 4: study factors in multiple views (e.g., text, color, tweet, etc.) and make suggestion to
amend switching between non-human and human profiles. (2 marks)

A report is required to summarize Tasks 1-4 in a well-organized way and cite referred
articles and programming resources in your writing. Tasks 2-4 need R/Python programming
to support your analysis.

Submission:
The submission link for Assignment 2 is on the subject’s Moodle site, under the Week 9
Toggle. Only one submission per group. The submission must be a zip file named
“A2.zip”, under 200 MB, and contains a report (mandatory), code (mandatory) and
video presentation (optional). Either following way is acceptable:
1. a report in .pdf format, and code files in .R or .py; or
2. a Jupyter document in .ipynb, combining report and code (if your group uses
Python language only).
A video presentation is optional in .mp4 format or a shared link saved in a .txt file.

Important:
• The report must be in a single file and in .pdf or .ipynb format. The title page
must list the full name and student ID of all members in the group. Clearly indicate
members who did not make a minimum in contributions.
• The report does not have a page limit.
• Marks will be deducted for incomplete or vague descriptions.
• Sufficient, suitable, and legible annotation shall be provided in your code to make it
easy to understand. Marks will be deducted for untidy code, code that is difficult to
read, code that does not run, or code that does not reproduce the results in your
report.

Note: Failure of your code to run may attract zero marks. Plagiarism of any part in your
code, or any part in your report will attract zero marks for this assignment. It is the
responsibility of the group to ensure that your submission does not contain plagiarized
material. You may be requested to demonstrate and explain your program or explain your
answer in the report. Marks are deducted if you are unable to offer an explanation. Marks
will be awarded for correct design, implementation, style, completeness, and justification.
