Using this data you will create a graph of who-retweets-who. The final graph you will work with should contain only nodes in the population T. If a user X retweets a tweet of user Y, but Y is not one of the users in T ((s)he has not posted a tweet, that is, the handle of Y does not appear in the first or second column in the file), then user Y and all of the edges involving Y will not be included in the graph. · November 17: The second assignment is available in the Homework page of the course. · October 26: The first assignment is available in the Homework page of the course.
