In early work at the University of Kansas and Pennsylvania State University, the research team at Parus pioneered the development of fully automated methods for the coding of political event data. These efforts included KEDS, the first successful automated coder, the CAMEO event and actor coding ontology, and TABARI, the coding program used in the research phases of the DARPA Integrated Conflict Early Warning System (ICEWS). Our recent efforts include providing support for the real-time PHOENIX data set, and development of the new PETRARCH coder, written in Python, hosted on GitHub as an open-collaboration project, and utilizing the Stanford CoreNLP natural language processing suite. In addition to the computational event data efforts, we also produce the PITF Worldwide Atrocities Data Set using machine-assisted coding methods... We have been working with Reuters and Agence France Presse news service leads downloaded from the Factiva and Lexis-Nexis data services. We have used an..
