Similar to my Network construction techniques and Entity resolution & relation
extraction (NER, events, sentiment → graph).
1. Applications (influence, crisis, security, HCI)
↔ Aligns with my Domain-specific applications (politics, misinformation, forensics, HCI,
disaster response).
2. Challenges (ambiguity, multilingual, multimodal, ethics)
↔ Matches my Preprocessing & cleaning, Privacy & ethics, and Advanced methods
(multimodal, cross-cultural).

* CMSM (Computational Model of Social Meaning) — this framework isn’t in my general
map. Your file puts special emphasis on social meaning (semantics, pragmatics, emotions),
which enriches extraction beyond structural ties.
👉 In short: your subtopics.txt is conceptual + semantic-heavy, focused on meaning, theory,
and applications. My earlier map is technical + methodological, covering data sources, graph
processing, tools, evaluation, and scalability.
Would you like me to merge both into one unified outline (so you have a “complete”
framework combining your semantic angle and my technical one)?
okay, thank you. so whats better
Good question 👍
It depends on your goal:
If your purpose is theory + conceptual understanding (class, paper, literature review):
Your subtopics.txt is better.
It emphasizes foundations, meaning, semantics, social context, and challenges.
CMSM gives you a strong conceptual anchor that typical technical outlines don’t cover.
If your purpose is implementation + building systems (coding, data pipelines, experiments):
My technical map is better.
It covers data collection, graph construction, storage, scalability, evaluation,
visualization, and tools — the practical “how to do it” part.
If your purpose is research or a thesis/dissertation:
- The best approach is a merge.
