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):
