In the writing of a research paper, I've collected a large quantity of public blog posts and ingested them into a LDA and a word2vec data model. When I'm using terms from within these models, how can I reference the data source both to make it clear that this is analysis of my corpus but also to avoid plagiarism ambiguity?

As I don't know the specific location of these terms within the blogs (because the terms I'm dealing with are coming OUT of the data models) I cant cite the specific article.

What's the general consensus on citing a self-created corpus, particularly if the terms and language has been disconnected from their original articles.

    I would publish the corpus as a separate data entity, probably as a supplementary material to your paper. You seem not to have a copyright problem, do you?

  • @OlegLobachev, Thank you for your advice. I had planned on making the corpus and data models available on a github, referencing the terms and phrases produced from the data models from that would clear up the confusion? No, there's no copyright issue. Thank you for your help

    You are welcome. If the volume is high and no changes are in sight, a data repository like Zenodo might be more fitting the purpose.
