Create document-term matrix for a given public

For the congress, do not use the --vocab flag since the script will directly infer the vocabulary from the congress tweets. Do use the --party flag since it will search the user's party ("majority", "rn", etc.) in the file path.

For other publics, pass the congress terms stored in data_prod/dfm/congress-words.txt as input in order to compute a document-term matrix based on the words of the congress. See the examples below.

• congress:

python 01-create-dtm.py {FOLDER}/deputes/ congress --party

The results will be saved in data_prod/dfm/congress-....txt

• media

python 01-create-dtm.py {FOLDER}/media/ media --vocab data_prod/dfm/congress-words.txt

The results will be saved in data_prod/dfm/media-....txt
