Abstract
We investigate networks formed by keywords in tweets and study their community structure. Based on datasets of tweets mined from over seven hundred political figures in the U.S. and Canada, we hypothesize that such Twitter keyword networks exhibit a small number of communities. Our results are further reinforced by considering via so-called pseudo-tweets generated randomly and using AI-based language generation software. We speculate as to the possible origins of the small community hypothesis and further attempts at validating it.
