Text Analysis Using R

February 8, 2021 @ 7:00 am - 9:30 am

This is a 3-afternoon (2/8/21, 2/10/21, 2/12/21) online course.

This workshop will introduce participants to the basics of text analysis in R. Text analysis is a promising new approach that uses machine learning to discover patterns, trends, and other information by using text as data. For example, in measuring misinformation on social media to study how candidates have changed their campaign rhetoric over time, text analysis has an incredibly broad scope of applications.

In this course, participants will develop the skills and understanding necessary to collect text data from a variety of sources, including websites and APIs. Participants will gain practical skills for completing their own analyses using text as data. Basic to intermediate knowledge of programming in R is required; no background in statistics is necessary.

Instructor: Rachel Porter
