Statistics 325 - Text Analytics

Text analytics is a form of natural language processing that utilizes computational systems to process, find patterns, classify, and model information contained within unstructured text documents. These methods are attractive because they can be applied to large collections of documents that would be infeasible to undertake by hand. In this course, students will interact with a variety of text sources with the goal of finding insights, identifying patterns, extracting meaning, and communicating results. Topics will include data wrangling, tokenization, regular expressions, n-grams, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis, topic modeling, classification, cloud computing, dynamic visualization tools, and ethical considerations.

Students may not receive credit for both STAT210 and STAT325
