ConvoKit: A Toolkit for the Analysis of Conversations
This toolkit addresses the need for accessible tools in conversational analysis, benefiting researchers and practitioners in computational social science and related fields, though it is incremental as it builds on existing methods.
The authors introduced ConvoKit, an open-source toolkit designed to analyze conversations and social interactions by providing a unified framework for data representation and manipulation, along with a diverse collection of datasets, which lowers technical barriers for adopting computational methods in conversational analysis.
This paper describes the design and functionality of ConvoKit, an open-source toolkit for analyzing conversations and the social interactions embedded within. ConvoKit provides an unified framework for representing and manipulating conversational data, as well as a large and diverse collection of conversational datasets. By providing an intuitive interface for exploring and interacting with conversational data, this toolkit lowers the technical barriers for the broad adoption of computational methods for conversational analysis.
