October 2017 webinar: Using NLP with SenseMaker®
• Guest: Anna Hanchar (@annahanchar), The data atelier, UK
• QED host: Laurie Webster
There is increasing interest in the potential of natural language processing (NLP) for treating SenseMaker narratives as “textual data” and for adding value to the familiar analysis of signifiers, multi-choice questions, and demographics. In this webinar, Anna Hanchar shares her experience with the application of NLP in the development context. She discusses the basics of NLP and gives an example of how it was used in practice.
Anna’s slides from the webinar and the R notebook that she discusses are available on the GitHub page of the data atelier.
