At the end of the course, students will be able to conduct their own text analysis using a quite simple application environment. The course is suitable for PhD students enrolled in humanistic and social PhD programs who are interested in exploring theoretic fundamentals and application principles of text analysis and mining.

Unterrichtsform
Frontal lectures, in-class discussion, exercises.

Bildungsziele
By the end of this course, students will be able to: • Identify the relevant concepts and principles of text mining and analysis and their applications in research activities. • Select appropriate methods and strategies to apply text analysis to research projects requiring such kind of perspective. • Use tools and applications, such as Orange3, to collect, visualize, process, and analyze English texts

Art der Prüfung
Project work: sketch a brief proposal (max one page) for the application of text analysis on a research topic of interest; perform the analysis through an Orange3 workflow; comment results and most relevant evidence stemming from the analysis. A brief report and the Orange3 workflow must be delivered. NOTE: project works are valid for 1 academic year and cannot be carried over beyond that time-frame.
