This repo contains the code used for my Capstone project for my Master's degree in Applied Social Data Science from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
The first 4 scripts in this repository borrow from Evan Odell and his Hansard Speeches project. Documentation for this project lives on his website here: https://evanodell.com/projects/datasets/hansard-data/ and he is kind enough to share his code in a repository here: https://github.com/evanodell/hansard-data3.
Script 6 trains and assesses a series of machine learning classifiers on Parliamentary speech data. Script 7 creates a variety of visualizations both to be included in the report and for help understanding the data. Script 8 brings Google mobility data into the fold, mapping mobility data to the speeches data and doing analysis on the relationship between the two.
