Introduction to Text Mining

Monday, January 14, 2019

9:30 am – 10:30 am

247 Hesburgh Library, Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship

Workshop Overview

In this hands-on session, participants will 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 — a form of digital humanities research — is a way to count and tabulate the frequency of words (or phrases) in a text in order to find patterns and anomalies within it. Based on the resulting analysis, it is possible to learn what a corpus is about more quickly than reading the corpus without the use of a computer.

There are no prerequisites, but participants may want to bring their own laptop to the session. Open to all faculty, staff, postdocs, graduate students and undergraduate students.
