What
This is a package that does/has only one thing: the complete transcriptions of all episodes of The Office! (US version).
Use this data set to master NLP or text analysis. Let’s scratch the surface of the subject with a few examples from the excellent Text Mining with R book, by Julia Silge and David Robinson.
First install the package from CRAN:
library(schrute)There is only one data set with the schrute package; assign it to a variable
mydata <- schrute::theofficeTake a peek at the format:
dplyr::glimpse(mydata)
#> Rows: 55,130
#> Columns: 12
#> $ index <int> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16…
#> $ season <int> 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,…
#> $ episode <int> 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,…

#> $ total_votes <int> 3706, 3706, 3706, 3706, 3706, 3706, 3706, 3706, 3706,…
#> $ air_date <chr> "2005-03-24", "2005-03-24", "2005-03-24", "2005-03-24… mydata %>%
dplyr::filter(season == 1) %>%
dplyr::filter(episode == 1) %>%
dplyr::slice(1:3) %>%
knitr::kable()| index | season | episode | episode_name | director | writer | character | text | text_w_direction | imdb_rating | total_votes | air_date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | Pilot | Ken Kwapis | Ricky Gervais;Stephen Merchant;Greg Daniels | Michael | All right Jim. Your quarterlies look very good. How are things at the library? | All right Jim. Your quarterlies look very good. How are things at the library? | 7.6 | 3706 | 2005-03-24 |
| 2 | 1 | 1 | Pilot | Ken Kwapis | Ricky Gervais;Stephen Merchant;Greg Daniels | Jim | Oh, I told you. I couldn’t close it. So… | Oh, I told you. I couldn’t close it. So… | 7.6 | 3706 | 2005-03-24 |
| 3 | 1 | 1 | Pilot | Ken Kwapis | Ricky Gervais;Stephen Merchant;Greg Daniels | Michael | So you’ve come to the master for guidance? Is this what you’re saying, grasshopper? | So you’ve come to the master for guidance? Is this what you’re saying, grasshopper? | 7.6 | 3706 | 2005-03-24 |
So what we have is the season, episode number and name, character, the line spoken and the line spoken with the stage direction (cue).
We can tokenize all of the lines with a few lines from the tidytext package:
token.mydata <- mydata %>%
tidytext::unnest_tokens(word, text)This increases our data set to 571612 records, where each record contains a word from the script.
token.mydata %>%
dplyr::filter(season == 1) %>%
dplyr::filter(episode == 1) %>%
dplyr::slice(1:3) %>%
knitr::kable()| index | season | episode | episode_name | director | writer | character | text_w_direction | imdb_rating | total_votes | air_date | word |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | Pilot | Ken Kwapis | Ricky Gervais;Stephen Merchant;Greg Daniels | Michael | All right Jim. Your quarterlies look very good. How are things at the library? | 7.6 | 3706 | 2005-03-24 | all |

If we want to analyze the entire data set, we need to remove some stop words first:
stop_words <- tidytext::stop_words
tidy.token.mydata <- token.mydata %>%
dplyr::anti_join(stop_words, by = "word")And then see what the most common words are:
tidy.token.mydata %>%
dplyr::count(word, sort = TRUE)
#> # A tibble: 18,960 × 2
#> word n
#> <chr> <int>
#> 1 yeah 2930
#> 2 hey 2232
#> 3 michael 1860
#> 4 uh 1463
#> 5 gonna 1405
#> 6 dwight 1345
#> 7 jim 1162
#> 8 time 1149
#> 9 pam 1043
#> 10 guys 947
#> # … with 18,950 more rowstidy.token.mydata %>%
dplyr::count(word, sort = TRUE) %>%
dplyr::filter(n > 400) %>%
dplyr::mutate(word = stats::reorder(word, n)) %>%
ggplot2::ggplot(ggplot2::aes(word, n)) +
ggplot2::geom_col() +
ggplot2::xlab(NULL) +
ggplot2::coord_flip() +
ggplot2::theme_minimal()
Feel free to keep going with this. Now that you have the time line (episode, season) and the character for each line and word in the series, you can perform an unlimited number of analyses. Some ideas: - Sentiment by character - Sentiment by character by season - Narcissism by season (ahem.. Nard Dog season 8-9) - Lines by character - Etc.
