R is mostly known for its statistical methods on numbers. However, it is also capable of working efficiently with text and analysing it. In this workshop we will take a deep dive into how to work with text in R and introduce you to functions that allow you to even do text mining.

At the end of this workshop, you will be able to
ÌýÌýÌý · manipulate strings efficiently
ÌýÌýÌý · import text from multiple sources
ÌýÌýÌý · lay the basis for working with regular expressions (regex)
ÌýÌýÌý · do some text mining with the tidytext package

Prerequisite: basic understanding of R, e.g. through the CDSI workshop "Introduction to data science with R".

Date: Tuesday May 31st, 2022.
Time: 1 PM to 3 PM.
Location: room BH511, inside the Geographic Information Center.
Instructor: Dr. Tim Elrick, Director of the Geographic Information Centre.
