Including 2x Course Books (PDF), HTML files, course transcripts (if any).
Course Summary
Topic modeling is one of the popular methods used in text analysis. With topic modeling, businesses are able to identify the topics of a set of textual data by detecting patterns and recurring words, helping them to understand and summarize large collections of textual information from any text data.
This 3-days online workshop is a beginner-friendly introduction to topic modeling using R. Throughout the online course, we will provide participants with hands-on examples and a rich interactive experience. One Instructor and two Teaching Assistants will help participants troubleshoot or help with any difficulties encountered.
NOTES: This workshop will be delivered in Bahasa Indonesia.
