Course Description

From social media to product reviews, text is an increasingly important type of data across applications, including marketing analytics. In many instances, text is replacing other forms of unstructured data due to how inexpensive and current it is. However, to take advantage of everything that text has to offer, you need to know how to think about, clean, summarize, and model text. In this course, you will use the latest tidy tools to quickly and easily get started with text. You will learn how to wrangle and visualize text, perform sentiment analysis, and run and interpret topic models.

    Wrangling Text

    Free

    Since text is unstructured data, a certain amount of wrangling is required to get it into a form where you can analyze it. In this chapter, you will learn how to add structure to text by tokenizing, cleaning, and treating text as categorical data.

    Sentiment Analysis

    While word counts and visualizations suggest something about the content, we can do more. In this chapter, we move beyond word counts alone to analyze the sentiment or emotional valence of text.

    Learned a lot from this course. My only complaint is in difficulties when leaving and returning, as some elements (e.g. pre-inserted objects) rely on you either remembering their names from prior lessons or knowing how to use the R console to find out. While this isn't an issue for me, it could be for beginners.
