14:00-15:00 - Connected_Politics Seminar: Visualising Conceptual Change in Parliamentary Debates

Abstract: This work uses natural language processing to extract structured representations of contested political concepts to facilitate quantitative comparison across time and between different ideologies, with examples from Irish and UK parliamentary debates. I also present an interactive system for exploring political concepts interactively in these contexts.
