**textnets** represents collections of texts as networks of documents and

words. This provides novel possibilities for the visualization and analysis of

texts.

**textnets** is free software under the terms of the GNU General Public License

v3.



The ideas underlying **textnets** are presented in this paper:



  Christopher A. Bail, "`Combining natural language processing and network

  analysis to examine how advocacy organizations stimulate conversation on social

  media`__," *Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States

  of America* 113, no. 42 (2016), 11823–11828, doi:10.1073/pnas.1607151113.



__ https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1607151113



Initially begun as a Python implementation of `Chris Bail's textnets package

for R`_, **textnets** now comprises several unique features for term extraction

and weighing, visualization, and analysis.

Features

--------



**textnets** builds on `spaCy`_, a state-of-the-art library for

natural-language processing, and `igraph`_ for network analysis. It uses the

`Leiden algorithm`_ for community detection, which is able to perform community

detection on the bipartite (word–group) network.

.. _`Leiden algorithm`: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-41695-z

.. _`spaCy`: https://spacy.io/



**textnets** is installable using the ``pip`` and ``nix`` package managers. It

requires Python 3.9 or higher.



**textnets** integrates seamlessly with Python's excellent `scientific stack`_.

That means that you can use **textnets** to analyze and visualize your data in

Jupyter notebooks!
