In this hands-on workshop, 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 should bring their laptop.
