      Calisto, a software for the construction of political discourse.
    • Abstract:
      This paper addresses an aspect not yet investigated in Spanish political communication: the use of data mining systems and machine learning in the construction of political discourse. This text details the potential of Calisto software, which was designed and implemented by the Popular Party (PP), previously used in Castile and Leon and then at the national level. This software acts as a digital political advisor and is currently used by 7,500 positions and party members. The program tracks information on the internet to identify the most relevant sources. In addition, its natural language processing generates ideas and arguments that politicians use to construct their speech. This article explores the benefits of this tool and its ability to automate processes that previously consumed large doses of effort by managers and consultants, and also reflects on the highly controlled model that this type of system imposes in the public arena.

    • Abstract:
      Esta investigación aborda un aspecto hasta ahora no estudiado de la comunicación política en España como es la utilización de sistemas de minería de datos (data mining) y aprendizaje automático (machine learning) en la construcción del discurso político. El texto detalla el potencial del programa Calisto diseñado e implantado por el Partido Popular (PP). Se trata de un asesor político digital que actualmente utilizan 7.500 cargos y militantes de esa formación. El programa rastrea la información presente en internet, le aplica una jerarquía de fuentes especialmente competentes y genera argumentos que el político puede utilizar en la construcción de su discurso. El artículo indaga en las prestaciones de esta herramienta y su capacidad para automatizar procesos que hasta ahora consumían grandes dosis de esfuerzo por parte de cargos y asesores, al tiempo que reflexiona sobre el modelo altamente controlado y uniformador que este tipo de sistema impone en el discurso público.
