CANCELED — Using Topic Modeling Against a Corpora

Tuesday, March 17, 2020

11:00am – Noon

247 Hesburgh Library, Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship

In order to protect the health and wellness of our community, this event has been canceled. We will share more information on rescheduling, as appropriate, at a later date.

Workshop Overview

Topic modeling is a process of analyzing a collection of texts to better understand the collection as a whole. Given a corpora of documents (books, articles, Web pages, etc.) from any discipline, topic modeling divides the corpora into sub-corpora, and each sub-corpora will be identified with a theme. This process can be useful for identifying genres, authors, or subjects in a body of literature.

This hands-on workshop will demonstrate and facilitate the use of a free Java-based program called Topic Modeling Tool.

Participants are expected to bring their own computer and the computer is expected to have Java already installed (which most do).

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