Natural Language Processing with SpaCy
Online
This advanced course will introduce students to spaCy, for processing and quantitatively analysing natural language in Python.
SpaCy is a highly powerful and flexible library that offers a range of tools for NLP.
The workshop will focus in particular on the tools spaCy offers for text processing pipelines and language models (e.g. part of speech tagging, named entity recognition, and topic models).
This is an advanced-level workshop. You will need a basic understanding of Python and how to run Python code and some basic knowledge of how text analysis works.
Those who have registered to take part will receive an email with full details and a link to join the session 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.
