Django Learning is a content analysis and machine learning framework designed to make it easy to develop a codebook, validate it, collect training data with crowdsourcing, and apply it at scale with machine learning. At the moment, you won’t find bleeding edge deep learning here; instead, this library is intended to provide a rigorous and reliable framework for developing ML models with tried-and-true methods and validating them to ensure that they achieve performance comparable to humans.
To install, you can use pip:
pip install django_learning
Or you can install from source:
git clone https://github.com/pewresearch/django_learning.git
cd django_learning
pip install -e .
Some of our libraries require the use of 64-bit Python. If you encounter errors during installation
that are related to missing libraries, you may be using 32-bit Python. We recommend that you uninstall
this version and switch to a 64-bit version instead. On Windows, these will be marked with x86-64; you
can find the latest 64-bit versions of Python here.
ssdeep is an optional dependency that can be used by the get_hash function in Pewtils.
Installation instructions for various Linux distributions can be found in the library's
documentation. The ssdeep
Python library is not currently compatible with Windows.
Installing ssdeep on Mac OS may involve a few additional steps, detailed below:
- Install Homebrew
- Install xcode
xcode-select --install - Install system dependencies
brew install pkg-config libffi libtool automake ln -s /usr/local/bin/glibtoolize /usr/local/bin/libtoolize - Install ssdeep with an additional flag to build the required libraries
BUILD_LIB=1 pip install ssdeep - If step 4 fails, you may need to redirect your system to the new libraries by setting the following flags:
Do this and try step 4 again.
export LIBTOOL=`which glibtool` export LIBTOOLIZE=`which glibtoolize` - Now you should be able to run the main installation process detailed above.
