In this session, Julia will cover:
- a basic introduction to the concepts of structured and unstructured data

- basic text-mining processes, including tokenising, standardising, tagging, and chunking
- a brief intro to the concepts of automatic classifiers and extraction.
What you’ll need
- No prior knowedge, although it helps if you know a bit about using Python.
- If you want to follow along, open these jupyter notebooks in a browser: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/UKDataServiceOpen/text-mining/master?filepath=code
- Alternatively, download them and run the code locally if you prefer.
- Julia on Twitter
- UK Data Service website
- I like to laugh, so feel free to share your jokes, memes and puns!
