Hi, I would like to add the "Chinese-Elite" project to the Miscellaneous section. It's a full-featured open-source tool built with a Python backend that doesn't fit neatly into the library-focused categories.

Chinese-Elite - A tool that automatically maps and analyzes relationship networks of Chinese elites by parsing public data using LLMs, in Python.

What is this Python project?

"Chinese-Elite" is an end-to-end tool with a backend written entirely in Python.

It uses Large Language Models to automatically extract entities and relationships from unstructured text (e.g., Wikipedia) to build a knowledge graph.

The project features a fully automated data pipeline (run_pipeline.py and GitHub Actions) that handles data fetching, graph merging, and cleaning.

The Python backend also generates all data files required by its interactive visualization frontend.

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

It stands apart from typical data projects by its methodology and scope:

  • vs. Web Scraping Projects: It performs semantic extraction using an LLM to understand context and complex relationships, rather than relying on brittle, rule-based scrapers (e.g., CSS selectors).

  • vs. Standalone Scripts/Notebooks: It is engineered as a fully automated, self-updating pipeline via GitHub Actions for continuous operation, unlike manual, one-off analysis scripts.

  • vs. Data Exploration Tools: Its primary role is to generate a structured graph dataset from raw text. Tools like Datasette are used to explore existing structured data, so "Chinese-Elite" operates a step earlier in the data lifecycle.
