Describe briefly your idea
We have the subtitles and videos from all Attenborough (200+ episodes) documentaries and we want to have fun with this data and learn from each other + maybe answer some fun questions on the way. Learn about NLP, topic modelling, network analysis, data visualisation.
Do you have a research question? (It's ok if the answer is "not yet")
Investigate Attenborough's use of language. Look at this over time: how has his use of language/topics changed? Are there commonly used adjectives for certain species?
What is everyone's role in the group?
Violeta: the boss
Lena: the secretary
Ben: the code monkey
Thibault: the language expert
Sophia: the learning puppy
Darcy: the learning bird
What do you expect to achieve by the end of summer school?
Process data
Some visualisations
Initial analysis (for example, network of animals linked by common adjectives)
Surprise!
