Overview
Key facts
- At its core, text-as-data approaches have the same aim as classical content analysis – extracting meaning out of text.
- However, due to the unstructured and multidimensional nature of texts, there are additional challenges in achieving this goal.
- Radboud University's Advanced Text Analysis course is aimed at people who have some experience with text-as-data approaches, but what to understand more nuanced aspects of methods used to analyze texts.
- The topics that are covered in the course are: Text Representation (ways to transform unstructured text for computational analyses), Statistical models of texts, Word Embedding Models, Deep Learning models applied to text analysis, and Multilingual text analysis.
- The advantages and disadvantages of each method/approach are also discussed.
Programme Structure
Course include:
- The topics are introduced in an interactive lecture-type setting, while the practical part consists of a coding session with examples and tasks.
- Small homework assignments are given out throughout the course week to deepen the knowledge of the topics.
