Relatio is a Python package to extract simple narrative statements from large text corpora (e.g., “Taxes ruin the economy.”, “Democrats stole the election.”, “People are losing their jobs.”).

For a given corpus, we map semantic relationships between K latent entities. The number of latent entities is chosen by the user (we offer quantitative metrics for a data-driven choice). Our package then allows users to plot narratives as directed multigraphs (some examples). The method is described in greater detail in the original paper.
