General Inquirer

The General Inquirer is a historically important program for content analysis of textual data originally developed in the 1960s by Philip Stone and his colleagues at the Harvard Laboratory of Social Relations. Though the original release used punched cards, a version the program is available by request, and can be obtained by e-mailing Roger Hurwitz from an academic address. A minimalist web version capable of processing small files is also available. The General Inquirer's homepage is maintained in Philip Stone's memory.

gensim

Gensim is an open-source library for unsupervised topic modeling and natural language processing, using modern statistical machine learning. Gensim is implemented in Python and Cython. Gensim is designed to handle large text collections using data streaming and incremental online algorithms, which differentiates it from most other machine learning software packages that target only in-memory processing. Gensim includes streamed parallelized implementations of fastText, word2vec and doc2vec algorithms, as well as latent semantic analysis (LSA, LSI, SVD), non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), tf-idf and random projections.
