Abstract
En nuestro día a día, se producen numerosas situaciones de injusticia en el entorno laboral. Sin embargo, muchas veces, los medios tradicionales de denuncia no son suficiente para visibilizarlas. En los últimos años, con la aparición y expansión de las redes sociales, muchas personas han recurrido a ellas para hacerse oír. En particular, Twitter ha jugado un papel muy importante a la hora de visibilizar iniciativas y unir a gente con intereses comunes. En este contexto, percibimos que, aun significando un avance importante, pueden existir problemas si se usan exclusivamente las redes sociales como medio de denuncia. Por ejemplo, la denuncia puede ser censurada por medio de su eliminación, denuncias muy medí áticas pueden eclipsar a otras, o las denuncias pueden quedar ocultas entre la gran cantidad de contenido que hay en la red social.
Es por ello que proponemos crear una herramienta de análisis y visualización dedicada, exclusivamente, a este tema. La aplicación Injustweet, haciendo uso de estadísticas y graficas, muestra datos relacionados con denuncias laborales en Twitter. De forma que pueda servir como un punto de conocimiento, apoyo y denuncia para personas que estén interesadas, tanto a nivel personal como profesional, en el tema. El desarrollo de la aplicación aprovecha los ´últimos avances metodológicos y tecnológicos para llevarla a cabo. Por un lado, el desarrollo del frontend se lleva a cabo cuidando el diseño gracias a React. Por otro lado, con el objetivo de evitar la censura, el backend hace uso de tecnologías distribuidas, como la blockchain. Finalmente, destacamos que con el fin de detectar, entre la gran cantidad de datos, aquellas que sean denuncias, se aplican técnicas de análisis de lenguaje natural.
There has always been different kinds of injustice in the workplace. However, many times, it is hard to be heard when using the traditional ways of launching complaints. During the past years, due to the rapid growth of social media, many have started using them as a way of communicating those injustices. In particular, Twitter has played a very important role. It has become a platform that gives visibility to many initiatives and where people can get together and share common interests. Even though social networks have partially solved the problem, they alone do not seam to be the best solution. For instance, a report made in Twitter can be censored by deleting the tweet. The denunciations can be eclipsed by the gigantic amount of data or by others which get more spotlight. That is way we propose to develop an application dedicated, exclusively, to this topic. Injustweet will show data related to workplace injustices by using graphs and statistics. Therefore, everyone who is interested personally or professionally in those situations could use it as a way of consulting and sharing information. During the development of this project, we have used the latest technologies and methodologies available. On one hand, we were able of creating an attractive design and developing the frontend thanks to React. On the other hand, we used blockchain as a way of avoiding censorship. Finally, it should be noted that we have used language processing techniques to obtain data related to workplace injustices.
