Project summary:
The inaugural speech is the first speech of the presidents of the United States. In this project, We apply natural language processing and text mining techniques to explore what they said during their inaugural speech, what ideological values they conveyed, and what kind of emotions they expressed. Intriguingly, we identify several common patterns on their speaking strategies and interesting clusters of their topics.
Once we compare the inaugural speeches of presidents in different parties, we notice some trends on their speeches. If we relate presidents' topics with the America history, we can obtain more inspiration. Based on the analysis of all the presidents, we treat Trump as our interest to see whether he is alien among U.S. presidents.
