Natural Language Processing for everybody

PyData Salamanca is proud to announce its 2nd meetup.

What is PyData? PyData is a group for users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. We gather to discuss best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. We approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

AGENDA

5:30pm - Doors open and networking

5:35pm - Community announcements (Spanish)

News and information about the community.

5:45pm - Keynote I + Q&A (Spanish)

Data Analysis with Python - How to start programming without being a computer scientist - Martina Kienberger - PhD student (University of Vienna) & Assistant Professor (University of Salamanca)

Although still not very common, the use of programming languages for data analysis in social science has many advantages and is not as difficult as it may seem. In this talk a philologist will give you a short introduction about Python, what you may use it for and how to get started.

6:10pm - Keynote II - Q&A (Spanish)

Natural Language Processing for Linguistic & Social Sciences (What? How? and Why?) (Spanish)- Anna Valdivia - PhD (University of Granada)

Natural Language Processing (NLP) models aim at "understanding" human language. Although this area is considered a subfield of computer science, it is interesting to open it to other disciplines such as philology, sociology, psycology, etc. in order to create more robust results collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.

6:30 - NLP workshop (Spanish) -

Hands On NLP using Python - Ana Valdivia

7:30pm - Refreshments and networking
