With the increasing usage of social media, we are now exposed to a vast array of texts, offering valuable insights into human behavior. Whether you're examining speeches given by world leaders over the decades or exploring public discourse on climate change, these texts are rich sources of information.

This hands-on workshop will equip you with the tools to transform texts into meaningful insights using topic modeling. Topic modeling is a computational technique that helps us uncover multiple themes within texts. We will learn how to extract the data, process it, and perform various types of topic modeling. Furthermore, we will delve into statistical analyses using the identified topics.

Basic understanding of R is recommended for this workshop.
