APIs

• Knowledge Graph API We utilize the Knowledge Graph API as a replacement for the deprecated Freebase API. This helps us map Freebase IDs of ethnicities to their corresponding names.

Webpages

• List of African-American actors, List of Hispanic and Latino American actors, and List of Italian-American actors: Wikipedia pages we use to supplement our analysis with additional actors’ ethnicities that may be absent from the CMU Movie Summary Corpus.
