Analyzing Narrative Evolution Across Social Networks

To address these challenges, we propose to develop a functional web application prototype (TRL 7) that will allow 10 concurrent users to A) specify, manage, and update narrative analyses in near real time, and B) interrogate results through zero-latency pulls that power interactive visualizations, facilitating data-driven discory and prediction. We will enhance these dynamic visualizations with quantitative metrics of narrative campgain effectiveness, including tests of growth rates for own and adversarial campaigns, relative narrative dominance in distinct populations, and comparisons of narrative campagin penetration in networks and sub-communities.
