Course Overview

Text Analytics is about converting unstructured data to structured data and applying statistical and machine learning techniques to predict or uncover hidden patterns from the data. While there are many GUI-based tools available, many data scientists still prefer to use programming languages for doing these advanced analytics due to the low set-up cost, huge flexibility to implement their desired functionalities and the support of broad user communities.

 

This course covers the theory and processes of text analytics using an open-source programming language. Several popular techniques such as text clustering and text classification will be introduced. There will be guided programming and participants will learn to prepare and analyse unstructured text data for business insights and decision making.
