Introduction to language models and text analysis using R.
Overview of packages like tidytext for tokenizing and analyzing text data.
Hands-on exercises to conduct a simple text analysis, such as sentiment analysis, on a text dataset.
10.0.2 Outcome
Participants will gain foundational skills in text analysis and learn how to use language models in R for analyzing textual data.
10.1 Introduction to Text Analysis with tidytext
The tidytext package applies tidy data principles to text mining, making it easier to manipulate and analyze textual data using familiar tools from the tidyverse.
10.1.1 Example: Tokenization and Basic Text Processing
Show the code
library(tidyverse)
── Attaching core tidyverse packages ──────────────────────── tidyverse 2.0.0 ──
✔ dplyr 1.1.4 ✔ readr 2.1.5
✔ forcats 1.0.0 ✔ stringr 1.5.1
✔ ggplot2 3.5.1 ✔ tibble 3.2.1
✔ lubridate 1.9.3 ✔ tidyr 1.3.1
✔ purrr 1.0.2
── Conflicts ────────────────────────────────────────── tidyverse_conflicts() ──
✖ dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter()
✖ dplyr::lag() masks stats::lag()
ℹ Use the conflicted package (<http://conflicted.r-lib.org/>) to force all conflicts to become errors

1 positive 1
10.2 Hands-On Exercise
10.2.1 Exercise 1: Analyze Text Data
Use a dataset of your choice (e.g., tweets or product reviews).
Tokenize the text data using unnest_tokens().
Show the code
# Example code structure for tokenizing a datasettweets <-tibble(line =1:3,text =c("R is great for data science.", "I love using tidyverse!", "Text analysis is interesting."))tokenized_tweets <- tweets %>%unnest_tokens(word, text)tokenized_tweets
# A tibble: 14 × 2

10.2.2 Exercise 2: Conduct Sentiment Analysis
Use the bing sentiment lexicon.
Analyze the sentiment of the tokenized text data.
Show the code
# Example code structure for sentiment analysistweet_sentiments <- tokenized_tweets %>%inner_join(get_sentiments("bing"), by ="word") %>%count(sentiment)tweet_sentiments
# A tibble: 1 × 2
sentiment n
<chr> <int>
1 positive 3
