Workshop “Data Mining for Humanities with R”

On II Digital Humanities Journeys | 11 October 2019 | Tec de Monterrey

While data mining and statistical learning are born as tools of the exact sciences, business and government agencies, their value for human and social sciences has been increasingly demonstrated. Due to the growing interest aroused by the large amount of non-structure information shared on the Internet, techniques that explore texts, images, relational networks or geographic data have been required for analysis. It is precisely this type of data that the Humanities work with, thus benefiting from the evolution of computing tools. During this workshop we will examine some of the possibilities for this type of analysis with the free software tool R.
