Approaching Natural Language Processing

We had such an awesome Meetup with Ivana Hybenova, she deserves a second round! This time we'll be focusing on Python and natural language processing.

Who are our speakers?
Ivana Hybenova is no stranger to the RLadies scene. A strong programmer, she has a masters degree in quantitative methods in Economics. She currently works at Good Monday as a data analyst, where she uses Python for ETL (extract, transform and load) and analyses of companies' data.

David Mortensen is currently studying at IT-University in Copenhagen and working as a junior machine learning engineer in Good Monday.

In this Meetup, Ivana & David will share their experiences working on Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python from an industry aspect. The main focus will be on Text Classification (sentiment analysis) and Topic Modelling and how these can be powerful tools in the industry.

The first talk - theory by David Mortensen
(1) An introduction to NLP and motivation for learning
(2) A visual and theoretical presentation of how a text classification pipeline could look like, including basic architecture of a suggested neural network.

The second talk - practical application by Ivana Hyebenova
Business case: A restaurant wants to label the incoming reviews into positive ones and negative ones (complaints) and wants to see what customers are complaining about.
(1) Introduction to the dataset
(2) Sentimental analysis
(3) Topic modelling
(4) Communicating of the results

All code will be done in Python and provided in advance, so you can take notes as we will be explaining it line by line. The goal of this Meetup is to introduce you to text mining and give you a blue print example, that you can use in your own projects with some small adjustments!
