The follow
ing post has two assignments namely;
1. Community and violence
Consider the follow
ing quote from the article by Correa-Cabrera et al:
A power vacuum has been created by the collapse of the State
in several states
in Mexico. The drug cartels
have filled the void us
ing social media to present their claims to control Mexican
institutions to the detriment
of its citizens."
A power vacuum is created when no legitimate authority exists to exert control
in a certa
in geographical area;
whether it be a city, state or country. Violence and power vacuums are
intimately related to each other.
Power vacuums are at the heart of much of what we will explore this semester. Power vacuums are not only
created by lack of a command presence, but also lack of policy to control violence.
Where have we seen power vacuums so far
in Module TWO? Who has risen to fill those vacuums? Consider
the role of power vacuums at many levels
in regard to gang violence; the level of the family unit, of urban and
municipal government,
in international relations. What is the relationship between power vacuums and
violence?

3. Deliverables
Submit your analysis report by address
ing the follow
ing critical areas:
Introduction: give some background and context about the doma
in of application, provide the rationale for
the type of analysis, and state the objective clearly.
Analysis: describe the data both qualitatively and quantitatively through exploratory analysis. perform
necessary preprocess
ing activities, give some
intuition about the algorithm and core parameters,
demonstrate the model build
ing steps along with parameter tun
ing, and expla
in all your assumptions.
Result: expla
in the result and
interpret the model output us
ing terms that reflect the application area,
perform model evaluation us
ing the appropriate metrics, and leverage visualization.
Conclusion: summarize your ma
in f
ind
ings, discuss experimental limitations related to the data and/or
