Join us for an introduction to topic modeling, an algorithm-based method for identifying clusters of words that appear together in a corpora of text. As we explore sample data sets, including the letters of Alexander Hamilton, we’ll discuss ways to tailor this method to your research interests and teaching. This workshop contributes to the Humanities Research Institute Critical Practice in Text Data Mining Research Cluster, and all are welcome to participate.
