Working with Text in Python

Interested in working with newspapers, interviews, social media posts, or other text data? If you’re working with a large collection of text, computational text analysis can help you answer your research questions. In this workshop, we will explore how research questions translate to text analysis methods, such as word frequencies, topic modeling, and sentiment analysis. We will also go over how to use AI endpoints to programmatically make AI calls. This workshop assumes attendees have some familiarity with Python.
