Natural language processing & data visualisation [Workshop]
This workshop will explore the fundamentals of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and data visualisation. We will focus on extracting insights from large-scale surveys that use free-form answers in part of their questions. Participants will learn how to perform basic NLP tasks (like sentimental analysis of text) and data visualisation of text responses and survey answers.
The data we will use consists of responses from the city of Vantaa’s annual participation surveys conducted in 2020, 2021 and 2022. These surveys try to measure citizens' satisfaction, involvement and influence in local governance (among other things). You will learn how to use tools available on the BDTI platform to extract and visualise some insights from these responses.
What You’ll Get from This Workshop:
- An understanding of using NLP in translating texts and analysing sentences.
- Hands-on experience in analysing survey responses in bulk.
- Skills in managing data storage and processing using Apache Superset, MongoDB and Jupyter Notebooks.
- A foundational understanding of data visualisation techniques and tools.
