MERL Tech DC 2019

At this workshop, we will introduce participants to the basic concepts, techniques, and approaches of natural language processing and text analytics used to get text ready for more in-depth analysis. Participants will learn about automated document summarization, automatic qualitative theme discovery, and clustering using unsupervised machine learning (topic modelling) and sentiment analysis.

After the workshop, the participants will:

-Have a basic understanding of natural language processing, and how to prepare text and documents for analysis and current constraints of practice.
-Have an understanding of concepts and approaches in text analytics and machine learning applied to text, including automated document summarization, topic modeling for theme/topic discovery and sentiment analysis.
-Be able to describe the place of text analytics in evaluation practice, and in their own work environment.
