The work defines context, scope, project objectives, and methods, then preprocesses data by selecting useful and shared variables, ensuring consistency and handling missing values. It learns a low-dimensional embedding of respondents via dimensionality reduction (including ISOMAP), forms topic clusters reflecting opinion, and evaluates results with statistical tests comparing political and socio-demographic attributes. Finally, it presents temporal planning, resources, risks, budget, and sustainability dimensions.","Machine Learning approach to Multidimensional  \nOpinion Polarization  \nInformatics engineering
