Description:

This workshop will cover two NLP methods for assessing syntactic and semantic complexity and
identifying key concepts represented in texts. Specific topics covered will include: hapax
richness, author attribution, and Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) weighting.
Participants must have some programming experience in R and familiarity with the Unix command line
and Git. (Participation in the January 20th workshop on Slash and Burn Command Line and Git and the
February 3rd workshop on Text Mining Fundamentals will prepare you well for this workshop.) Please
come to the workshop with a working R development environment and Git already installed and
operational on your system.
