CoP: Data Science: Create Text Analysis Tutorial #153
Description
Overview
We need to create a text analysis tutorial, so that new members can get familiar with the concepts and have a roadmap for what to do, if we ask for it.
Action Items
- Create a Google Doc in the folder provided under resources
- Draft an introductory paragraph explaining what the tutorial resources cover and why a new data scientist would use them for working with data at Hack For LA
- Identify resources with vetted tutorials covering important skills within the tutorial area, adding to the draft
- Review the draft with the Data Science CoP
- Add to the wiki page
Resources/Instructions
Wiki page
- Text Analysis Tutorial wiki page: https://github.com/hackforla/data-science/wiki/Text-Analysis
Location for any files you might need to upload (drafts, images, etc.)
Tools that are core that should be mentioned:
- nltk
- SpaCy
Examples of resources that would be useful to include:
- Web how-to/tutorial/walk-throughs
- Youtube playlists or videos demonstrating tools
- Links to blogs or platforms with subject matter experts

Hi - I might be able to work on this. I brainstormed an outline of topics, but would appreciate some feedback on scope and where to draw the line. Should this be more focused on text processing/analysis fundamentals or do we want to go all the way to building and evaluating predictive/classification models?
Potential tutorials:
Use Cases
Text Analysis Basics
Pre-processing
Analysis basics (with libraries)
More advanced...
Vectorization/Encoding
Building Models
Hyperparameter Tuning
Metrics

Feedback from DS meeting:
Connect topics and tutorials to HFLA datasets and projects
Build tutorial/notebook using HFLA dataset
Review 311 dataset to see if there's textual data that's a good fit
Explore alternatives: affordable housing or scraping HFLA agenda issues

Discussed this with Bonnie. These are all the possible tasks in Text Analysis: NLP at Medium
We are creating an Epic as a parent to all these classic NLP tasks that will become a genesis of tutorials on traditional NLP techniques, and how they are now solved by LLMs such as ChatGPT in many instances. I need to do that before Monday.
