- 6. www.bl.uk Python Programming language, becoming the industry standard for data analytics 6 Programming tools we use R Programming language with good visualisation packages Jupyter Notebooks & JupyterHub Tools which allow for interactive and shareable Python code e.g. https://github.com/GLAM-Workbench BL Labs version coming soon
- 7. www.bl.uk • Learn how to use these at: • https://programminghistorian.org/ • https://software-carpentry.org/ • Watch out for Adult Learning courses at British Library next Autumn 7 Programming tools we use
- 8. www.bl.uk Voyant https://voyant-tools.org/ Easy-to-use web application for text mining 8 Visualisation tools we use Palladio https://hdlab.stanford.edu/palladio/ Online tool for visualising structured historical data (people and places)
- 9. www.bl.uk • Named Entity Recognition using the Python library NLTK • Named Entity Recognition is the term for a range of methods for detecting certain types of words in text, such as people, places and organisations • Can be used to analyse the prominence of certain people or places in a large dataset 9 Methods used for today
- 10. www.bl.uk • Simple text mining with R and the library tidytext • Counting word frequencies can help us to ‘see inside’ large amounts of text, and detect patterns we might otherwise miss • We might use it to understand the focus of a particular newspaper title, or to compare reporting over different chunks of time 10 Methods used for today
