LA East R Users: Text analysis in R and Interactive Dashboards with shiny

Talk 1: Text analysis in R: Special Christmas Edition
Speaker: Emil Hvitfeldt

An ever-increasing amount of textual data is available us. I’ll talk you through a structured way to do exploratory data analysis(also called text mining) using tidytext to gain insight into the plain unstructured text. This will be followed by a demonstration of how modeling strategies can facilitate decision making when you have text as part of your data.

Talk 2: Interactive Dashboards with shiny
Speaker: Robert Mitchell

Learn about how you can translate your data analysis work into an interactive dashboard. Empower consumers of your data work the ability to explore in shiny! We will explore how the ui and server code is woven together, how easy it is to incorporate interactive plotting and mapping, and how you can begin customizing your visual aesthetic.
