Introduction to Text Mining

Tuesday, January 14, 2020

11:00am – Noon

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 is a way to analyze words or phrases in a text to find patterns and 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 a more traditional manner.

There are no prerequisites, but participants will want to bring their own laptop to the session.

Open to all faculty, staff, postdocs, graduate students and undergraduate students.
