Kenneth Benoit led an introductory workshop on quantitative text analysis using R and quanteda. The workshop took place on 9 December 2018 as a pre-sessional workshop in Canberra before the Annual Meeting of the Australian Society for Quantitative Political Science. The tutorial provided an overview of R’s capabilities for natural language processing and text analysis. The tutorial also provided an introduction to and survey of quanteda’s capabilities, and suggestions for future learning in this area.
