In this presentation, Normand Péladeau, CEO of Provalis Research, will identify the main challenges in the analysis of unstructured text data. Using WordStat text analysis software, Mr. Péladeau will demonstrate how text analytics and NLP techniques can help you deal with those challenges and analyze large amounts of text data using exploratory text-mining and quantitative content analysis.
Mr. Péladeau will show you how you can quickly and easily explore very large amounts of text data with techniques such as topic modeling, correspondence analysis, co-occurrence analysis, among others. He will also share some advice on how to build you own or use existing dictionaries for automated content analysis. While doing so, he will identify common mistakes researchers often do as well as the inherent limitations of those techniques by identifying situations where those techniques may fail as well as the optimal conditions under which they should be used.
