Dates: 14-Jul-2026 - 15-Jul-2026
Location: Warwick, United Kingdom

Minimum Education Level: BSc or above

Focus: Tentative topics include:
- Basics in corpus analysis in R – building and preparing text corpora
and carrying out fundamental computational analyses using R.
- Analysing texts using Large Language Models – using modern AI tools
to extract information, classify text, and support large-scale textual
analysis.
- Text mining – identifying patterns, frequencies, and meaningful
structures within large collections of text.
- Topic modelling – uncovering hidden thematic structures across large
document collections.
- Sentiment analysis – measuring emotional tone, attitudes, and
evaluative language in texts.
- Measuring semantic similarity – quantifying how closely related
words, sentences, or documents are in meaning.
- Reproducible workflows – organising code and data so analyses can be
transparently replicated and shared.
Description:
Funded by the British Academy, this free-to-attend, hands-on workshop
is for UK-based researchers in the social sciences and humanities who
wish to unlock the power of computational text analysis.
The workshop will provide a hands-on introduction to modern methods
for analysing large collections of text, enabling participants to
explore research questions that would be difficult to address using
traditional manual approaches alone.
No prior coding experience is expected.
