Master Project

My Master Project extended the research of my Bachelor studies on Wikipedia, interpreted as a complex network. In this analysis I focused on a comparison of popularity (click data from Wikidumps), network degree and language usage (Google’s NGrams) in the Wikipedias en, de, es, it, ru and fr. Handling about two terabytes of data required extensive ETL preparations using Python and automated analysis with Matlab and the Stanford Network Analysis Project.
