Welcome to the Github Repo for the GA2019 Computational Methods Workshop

Roman Jurowetzki, roman@business.aau.dk Tampere, 14/8 - 2019

Here you will find 3 notebooks with the tutorials for today. They are probably more detailed than what we can cover in one day. The Notebooks run using Google Colab, which is an online version of a Jupyter Notebook with Python 3.

Notebooks

  • Part1 – Exploratory Data Analysis and brush-up: Open In Colab

  • Part2 – Introduction to Machine Learning: Open In Colab

  • Part3 – Statistical Natural Language Processing 101: Open In Colab
