Corpus Workshop: Text mining of Norwegian public records
Text mining is a collective term for techniques for text analysis using digital tools. This workshop covers a selection of such tools and some of the methodological issues you may encounter when applying them to public records.
Main content
The Workshop will be held in Norwegian.
The program consists of three lectures as well as hands-on sessions where you get to try tools such as UiB's Corpuscle and the National Library's dhlab. During the practical sessions, we will present how to define and analyze text collections in these tools.
The target group for the workshop is students and researchers within the fields of history, law, and the social sciences.
