We present a data-driven research over code repositories that are data science oriented. The goal is to compare their topics of interest and evolution over the COVID-19 pandemic period by analyzing Jupyter Notebook and Python projects from a year before and during the pandemic. We employ a state-of-art algorithm to find topics based on the repositories descriptions, and compare the performance of tuning its hyperparameters for better accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
