Data Visualisation – Hands-on practice

Welcome to this ISKO UK Meetup, one of a series in 2020. It will be a hands-on Data Visualisation session with Tara McDarby pitched at newcomers to the subject. This will provide an introduction to the subject, including the ability to follow Tara's actions yourself; software links are below for you to download the relevant tools.

We'll be looking at how to use machine learning to produce data visualizations from textual data. The dataset we will use is from British Library Labs and can be downloaded here:
