The Computational Democracy Project designs, engineers, and maintains POLIS, an open-source, real-time system for gathering, analyzing, and understanding what large groups of people think in their own words, enabled by advanced statistics and machine learning. POLIS and implementations of the technology have been widely covered in the popular press — including articles from The New York Times, The Guardian, The Economist, and MIT Tech Review — as well as in documentaries from the BBC and books from Penguin. CompDem hosts https://pol.is/home and provides support and services to communities of journalists, academic researchers, and public servants innovating future democratic systems. CompDem also maintains an extensive and growing knowledge base for those implementing POLIS, as well as an open data repository and open-source Jupyter notebooks for academics and data scientists participating in developing methods.
