Quick Update

The meetings have been productive. Much of the dataset is complete: we have collected reviews from over 100 applications from top 100 lists on the Google Play store. Theresa and I have been experimenting with different methods of sentiment analysis including Natural Language Processing (our initial focus) and support vector machines (a side experiment).

Dr. Zheng has pointed us in a more focused direction. We're going to test the sentiment analysis on all of the apps that the developers we collected have created. After giving each app a sentiment score, we will create an aggregate score for the developer. This aggregate score will be compared to the overall developer score. In particular, we are looking at developers that have earned the "Top Developer" badge as more interesting examples.

We hope to test this method on the dataset this week!
