U.S-Presidential-Speeches

Analyze the text of U.S. President's Speeches from 1790 to 2006 using Word2Vec(w2v) model in gensim.<br> <b>Note:</b> I worked on this project in July, 2014. There has been a lot of progress since then. <br>

• All speeches in their original format are in speech.txt

• The processed version of the speeches such that each line contains one processed speech is in all_speech.txt

• The json file containing full metadata from speech.txt in the form of list of dictionaries is in data_processed.txt. It contains following key-value pairs:

  • 'who': President's name
  • 'date' : date of speech (example : January 27, 1984)
  • 'speech' : Full speech
  • 'what' :'State of the Union Address'

• The code to process speech.txt is in speech.py

• w2v_speech.py contains gensim model to learn w2v model from the speeches.

• Speech vector is calculated by averaging all the word vectors in the speech

• w2v_tsne.py contains the code to plot 2D version of 100 dimensional speech vectors

• speech_vectors.npy is numpy vector of all speeches as processed in w2v_tsne.py

Here is the t-SNE plot of speech vectors: (labeled version is in the repo. Download the image to zoom in.)

Here is the distance matrix between speeches. Zoom in to see year of speech vectors.
