NLP applied for augmented democracy in Portugal's parliament activity.
We process the minutes of the portuguese official Journal of the Republic, which includes all the information produced and exchanged in the parliamentarian sessions, in order to:
1 - analyze and make sense of massive and complex amounts of data produced in the legislative body;
2 - extract knowledge and sentiments related to anti-corruption political discourse and legislative initiatives;
3 - create analytics and dashboards for citizens and organizations (e.g., press/journalists investigative authorities, researchers) to track and monitor the (anti)corruption ideas, initiatives and behaviors parliamentarians and their political parties produce, initiate and/or support.
Each package on src/ folder is a self-contained step of the project. Please reffer to each packages README.md description src/<PKG_NAME>/README.md> and ipython notebooks at notebooks/<PKG_NAME>/ for usage examples.
