Natural Language Processing with R

IN PERSON 

This intermediate course will teach students how to process and quantitatively analyse natural language in R.  

The course will start with a theoretical introduction to natural language processing and quantitative text analysis, followed by a step-by-step exploration of how to do text analysis.  

The first class will focus on cleaning and processing text, the second class on applying basic models and in the third attendees will be focussing on advanced models. 

This is an intermediate-level course. Intermediate sessions explore specific aspects of the method (libraries, tools etc.) and offer a more in-depth understanding of the course topics, without introducing the basics. Some knowledge of how to use R and RStudio will be needed in order to follow the content of this course. 

Those who have registered to take part will receive an email with full details in advance of the start time.  

After taking part in this event, you may decide that you need some further help in applying what you have learnt to your research. If so, you can book a Data Surgery meeting with one of our training fellows.
