Text Mining and Sentiment Analysis with R

In this meetup, we are going to explore text mining using mainly tidyverse-friendly packages such as tidytext, dplyr, stringr and ggplot2. We will cover some basic concepts like tidy text data, joins and lexicons before moving on to some text analysis of Jane Austen novels. The plan is to perform basic word counts, check the data with ggplot2 visualisation and then run some sentiment analysis to identify which sentiments are more apparent in each chapter of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice book. The data for this meetup will be available on github. Basic R experience is suggested for this meetup and ideally some familiarity with dplyr.
