tidyfreud

tidyfreud contains the complete work of Sigmund Freud in a tidy format, e.g. ready for NLP tasks.

Installation

You can install the development version of tidyfreud from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("gygl/tidyfreud")

Reproduction of text preparation

The source of the data is a PDF that contains Freud’s complete work and that was downloaded from the following website: https://www.valas.fr/?lang=fr. To reproduce the data preparation clone locally the repository:

git clone git@github.com:gygl/tidyfreud.git

and open the folder as an RStudio project. Then download the file Freud_Complete_Works.pdf and move it to ./data. You can then run the whole preprocessing steps by running the following command:

targets::tar_make()

All the pre-processing steps are done via the function:

create_sfreud_complete_work_tibble(path_pdf = "./data/Freud_Complete_Works.pdf")

that takes as argument path_pdf the path of the pdf file.

The main processing steps are:

• import in R of the text and table of content contained in the PDF
• tokenization of the text in sentence/words
• detection of the book/article titles and subtitles
