This final virtual workshop introduces participants to topic modeling, an exciting realm of text analysis. The workshop focuses on two key methodologies: topic modeling and keyword-assisted topic models(keyATM). Participants will gain a practical understanding of topic modeling, a powerful unsupervised technique that extracts hidden themes and patterns from text collections. They'll learn how to apply topic modeling to identify dominant topics within textual data and how to interpret the results.

In this second Text Analysis Virtual Workshop event series, we will cover data preprocessing, which is a set of steps and techniques applied to raw text data before analysis. These steps include tokenization, lowercasing, stop word removal, stemming and lemmatization, removing special characters and further text cleaning. The goal of data preprocessing is to transform and prepare the text data for further analysis, ensuring that the data is accurate, consistent and suitable for extracting meaningful insights.

In this first of three Text Analysis Virtual Workshop events, we delve into foundational understanding and practical applications of text analysis. Defining concepts like text mining and natural language processing, we explore their uses in social sciences, digital humanities and beyond. We will then discover how these methods address complex inquiries, enriching our grasp of societal phenomena. Beyond academia, we will showcase text analysis's efficacy in marketing, finance and more. Join us in uncovering its transformative potential and versatile impact across disciplines.

In collaboration with the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing, the Labriola Center will be co-hosting a book talk with Ramona Emerson, author of Shutter.
