In a research paper, "Storywrangler: A massive exploratorium for sociolinguistic, cultural, socioeconomic, and political timelines using Twitter," researchers from the University of Vermont, in collaboration with Charles River Analytics, and MassMutual Data Science, detailed the working of a tool that curated over 150 billion tweets containing 1 trillion 1-grams from 2008 to 2021.
The researchers have highlighted the tool's potential showcasing use cases apropos social amplification, the sociotechnical dynamics of famous individuals, box office success, and social unrest.
