  • Project title: Influence of the Hippie Movement Bringing Indian Themes into Western Literature
  • Project data set: Google Ngrams - 1gram (English)
Project Tasks
  • Identifying and downloading the target data set
    • This project uses Google Ngrams - 1gram (English) which can be downloaded from [1] 0-10 CSV files.
  • Data cleaning and pre-processing
    • The raw CSV file values are separated by TABS so I had to use a script to replace TABS with COMMAS as follows: tr '\t' ',' <input_file.csv>output_file.csv
  • Load the data into your Postgres instance
    • I used a script which when piped into postgres drops existing tables, creates the tables, copies the data in, and then indexes the tables.
  • Develop queries to explore your ideas in the data
  • Develop and document the model function you are exploring in the data
  • Develop a visualization to show the model/patterns in the data
Tech Details
  • Node: as6
  • Path to storage space: /scratch/big-data/leif
Results
  • The visualization(s)
  • The story
