Written text contains a wealth of information that can be turned into research data to study almost every aspect of human behavior, human health and our society. However, converting text to usable data requires an understanding of standard techniques from the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). MIDAS and the AI Lab are jointly organizing a monthly series of NLP workshops during the Fall 2022 semester. The first installment is on Sept. 19.
Completing the workshop series will allow you to assess whether you want to incorporate NLP/text data into your research agenda, determine what expertise you might want to seek from collaborators for future projects, and know what skills you will want to develop further in this area, as well as where to look for additional learning opportunities.
