https://orcid.org/0009-0000-6595-0494Contribution to Project: Chris Lightsey is a Research Engineer at the High-Performance Computing Collaboratory (HPCC), where he works with large social media datasets for proprietary projects. He has been involved in projects focusing on data visualization, machine learning, supercomputing, natural language processing, open-source intelligence, and computer security. Lightsey’s expertise in working with large volumes of social media data and data science applications greatly aided in developing the code for all of the topic modeling algorithms utilized in the DataViz tool (i.e., LDA, LSA, NMF, and BERTopic) as well as processing, configuring, and indexing its results across the million documents present in the database.
