This page is a companion to the Olin Workshop called Text Mining: Hands-On Explorationa guest lecture prepared for ARCH 3819/ARCH5819. 
Please do bring a laptop! If you have one, bring your own. If you do not have one, please feel free to check one out at the Olin circulation desk. Having a laptop will allow you to participate in the exercises and get the most out of class.
No special software will be needed. All exercises will be done through a Web browser, without any special plugins.

Presentation

There will be a presentation (about 30 minutes) during which your questions and comments are welcome. My aim is to discuss as much as is useful to you. Please feel free to chime in at any time.

Exercises

short discussion where we define terms (at least loosely), that should give us a common language as we experience, discuss and critique simple text mining algorithms and the strategies they employ.

Explorations

All analysis tools All exercises will be demonstrated; no prior knowledge of any tools will be required. The room is equipped with video input to allow easy sharing of your desktop on the screen, so if you discover something that you would like to share and discuss, we can easily do so.
