This repository contains the State of the European Union speeches in machine (csv) and human (pdf) readable format. Download the latest release here.
The raw data is manually collected speech by speech from https://state-of-the-union.ec.europa.eu/ and pasted into single text-files in ./txt/raw/, along with the URL and date of access.
The preambles (name of the speaker, date…) are removed and cleaned files saved in ./txt/nopreamble/. All speeches are combined into a single csv with the following columns, where doc_id is an integer going from 0 to N, where N is the number of speeches:
| doc_id | date | speaker | url | text |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| int | str | str | str | str |
This csv is built in Python created using
~ python src/speech2csv.py For reading convenience, the speeches are also saved as a pdf using
~ python src/speech2tex.py
~ pdflatex tex/soteu-speeches.tex
