Workshop at the Swiss National Science Foundation

Stefan Müller led a two-day workshop on quantitative text analysis using R and quanteda at the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) in Berne on 30-31 July 2019. Participants from the SNSF learned how to construct a corpus, import textual data, tokenize text, create a document-feature matrix, and train and evaluate supervised classifiers. These steps were not only applied to corpora from the quanteda package, but also to newspaper articles covering the Swiss National Science Foundation.
