ACL trend survey

Requirements

• Python 2.7

• Install scrapy

    $pip install scrapy
  

Run

Data crawling

• Configure year and journal in crawler/crawler/settings.py. (Haven't tried crawling other proceedings/journals than ACL though)

    $ cd crawler
    $ scrapy crawl acl -o items.csv -t csv
    $ scrapy crawl acl -o items.json -t json
  

• Be careful of running the code twice because the json file gets appended, rather than overwritten.

Calculate frequent authors

$ python count.py
