Text Analysis in Python for Social Scientists

Discovery and Exploration Dirk Hovy Text is a fantastic resource for social scientists, but because it is so abundant, and so variable, it can be difficult to extract the information we want. Many basic text analysis methods are available as Python implementations: this Element will teach you when to use which method, how it works, and the Python code to implement it.
