This workshop focuses on the application of the supervised and unsupervised texts analysis technique to real-time Twitter messages that can help social researchers to detect social trends or citizens’ attitudes. Participants will learn the very basis of programming in Python and will be able to retrieve messages in Facebook and Instagram,. In addition, they will learn the mathematical representation of text (BoW, Embeddings, Transformers), the basis of natural language processing (tokenizing, stemming, lemmatizing, stop words, frequency of words, etc.) and will learn lexicon-based sentiment analysis.
The workshop will focus on supervised and unsupervised machine learning applied to unstructured data with different algorithms implemented in Scikit-Learn (naive bayes, logistic regression, support vector machines, etc.), Gensim, and TensorFlow / Keras (RNN).
The workshop will be given by
