“Topic Modeling in Action”
Opportunities and challenges in analyzing tweets & novels with R & Python
The meeting is planned as a participatory format along the two keynote lectures, which should be profitable for topic modeling beginners as well as advanced users. It is divided into two parts: first, the analysis of political tweets on the flood disaster using the stm package in R will be presented, the second part will present a topic modeling pipeline with Python applied to a corpus of 18th century French novels from the MiMoText project.
The focus will be on methodological and theoretical perspectives. Questions and discussions are planned and highly encouraged!
