R-Ladies Berlin - Crawling Twitter Data

Dear Ladies,

we are happy to invite you to another exciting R-Ladies Berlin session, hosted by Babbel in the center of Berlin.

Our guest - Bérengère Pohr - is a specialist in social network analysis and received a Ph.D in Economic Geography. She currently works as a Data Scientist at Babbel.

Bérengère is going to introduce us how to crawl data from Twitter and perform analysis like hashtag analysis or community detection. After an overview about basics (set-up your twitter credentials, how to query) she is going to guide us through an exciting exercise - community detection with our own Twitter account @RLadies Berlin.

After a short description of all the cool stuff you could do with data from Twitter (hashtag analysis, community detection...) , I'll give you some basic to extract your own data: how to set-up your Twitter credentials in R? How to query basic Twitter data?
We'll then dig-in in one of my favorite exercise: community detection with the @RLadiesBerlin ‏Twitter account. If you wanna explore your own Twitter activities - make sure to know your Twitter account details. Bring your laptop to code along with our guest.

Babbel kindly provides some drinks and snacks. We are starting with a short round of mingling at 6:30 pm, followed by the talk starting around 7 pm.

We are looking forward to welcome you to another R-Ladies Berlin meet-up. If you have any question - drop us a line!

Cheers, and on behalf of R-Ladies Berlin organiser team
