Automated text analysis methods and application areas in political science

Summary/Abstract: Automated text analysis has become a rapidly growing field in political science due to its ability to analyze large-scale textual data in ways that were not previously possible. However, because there are many different methods available for analyzing textual data, it can be difficult for researchers to choose the most appropriate approach for their research questions and data. This article provides a general overview of the use of statistical summaries, supervised and unsupervised machine learning, distributional semantic models, and word embedding methods for examining political phenomena. It compares the data requirements, outputs produced, basic assumptions, advantages, and disadvantages of not only basic methods such as calculating simple frequency distributions and similarity/distance measurements but also more advanced methods. While emphasizing the potential contribution of these methods to political science, this study provides examples from application areas.
