Text Analysis

Working with dataframes and tabular data is straightforward in R, but what about working with unstructured text such as reports, websites, journal articles, and open-ended survey responses? In this workshop we will explore the basics of working with text data in R, focusing on the tidytext and stringr packages. We’ll touch on regular expressions, quantifying term frequency, plotting word clouds, and performing sentiment analysis.

Wednesday February 14, 11:30-1 PM, DREAM Lab UCSB Library (RM 2322, Mountain side of the building on the second floor.)
