Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

R Workshop: Text Analysis II – Topic Modeling

December 4, 2025
10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Townshend Hall, room 038, 1885 Neil Ave Mall and Zoom

The second of our text analysis sessions will offer a brief overview of some methods used in this area, along with a deeper dive into topic modeling. This particular approach aims to find (latent) groups of words belonging to a larger body of text or collection of documents (similar to a latent class analysis).

At the end of the session participants will leave with code to undertake basic topic modeling.

Optional Reading on topic modeling (13 pages):
