-## Overarching Purpose
+Computer Science 477/577
+Project Status Report III
+Due: Tuesday, April 18
 
-I hope to use a dataset of new articles to track the polarization of news over time.
+## Tools
-I have a hypothesis that news has become more polarized superficially, but has actually converged into only two dominate views points.
-I think there is a connection to be made to other statistics, like voting polarity in congress, or income inequality, or consolidation of media into the hands of the few.
 
-## Data Source
+> The third project progress report should include a preliminary account of the existing software tools you will be using.
+> Ideally, you obtain the software you will (probably) need and run it on sample files (or your real files), so make sure that you understand how they work.
+> Do not wait verify that there are no hidden complications.
+> The are many plausible sources for such software, including the following:
 
-To test this thesis, I will crawl the archives of [memeorandum.com](https://www.memeorandum.com/) for news stories from 2006 onward.
+I will use the following suite of python tools to conduct my research:
-I will grab the title, author, publisher, published date, url and related discussions and store it in a .csv.
-The site also has a concept of references, where a main, popular story may be covered by other sources.
-So there is a concept of link similarity that could be explored in this analysis too.
 
-## Techniques
+- python
+- pytorch
+- scikit-learn
+- duckdb
+- requests
+- pandas
+- matplotlib
+- seaborn
 
-I am unsure of which technique specifically will work best, but I believe an unsupervised clustering algorithm will serve me well.
+## Purpose
-I think there is a way to test the ideal number of clusters should exist to minimize the error.
+
-This could be a good proxy for how many 'viewpoints' are allowed in 'mainstream' news media.
+> This progress should also provide a definitive description of your purpose and how you intend to conduct it.
+> This should take the form of a detailed outline of the procedures you will undertake in exploring your dataset(s) and maximizing the knowledge that can be extracted from it.

 I will train a classifier to predict political bias based on the word embeddings as well.
 There is a concept of the [Overton Window](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window) and I would be curious to know if title of new articles could be a proxy for the location of the overton window over time.
