Python Workshops
Wordcount by chapter in Lord of the Rings series
Introduction to Python
A crash course in python programming that starts with 1+1 and ends with graphing real data. Targeted towards students and beginners; I have given this to multiple groups and skill levels across a diverse set of disciplines.

Introduction to Text Data
Basics for loading, cleaning, and making decisions for working with text data sets. It also includes a section on visualizing text. Typically, I use a data set of ~900 English folktales, but have customized it for other areas of interest as well.
K-means clustering of 900 English folktales
Advanced Text Mining
The next step to working with text is actually analyzing the text to extract insights. In this workshop, I cover how to program and use similarity metrics, term frequency inverse document frequency, sentiment, and k-means clustering.
