Introduction to Text Mining

OPEN TO:
-Faculty -Graduate Students -Postdocs -Staff -Undergraduate Students

Learn the benefits of using computers to supplement the reading process; read at scale.

This hands-on class affords participants to learn the benefits of using computers to analyze textual corpora such as a collection of books or journal articles. Sometimes called "distant" or "scalable" reading, text mining is a way to analyze the words (or phrases) in a text in order to find patterns & anomalies within it. Based on the resulting analysis, it is possible to more quickly learn what a corpus is about when compared to reading in the more traditional manner. There are no prerequisites, but participants will want to bring their own laptop to the session.
