Project Description

This research project aims to develop a mechanism to automate 'qualitative coding' in social research by automatically extracting triples from web data, particularly web forum posts. The goal of such triple extraction is to provide a framework that can be exploited to study user knowledge, attitudes and behaviors as it relates to non-medical use of pharmaceutical opiods (e.g. OxyContin, buprenorphine etc). Interesting areas include 1) Social Network analysis, intended to determine information diffusion patterns and 2) Spatial-Temporal-Thematic analysis, intended to determine trends within the community regarding usage, distribution, of method of administration of pharmaceutical opioids (including Suboxone and Subutex, which are buprenorphine products).
