<b>Block Seminar - Four Fridays in February 2020</b><br/>
<b>Aleksander-Brückner-Zentrum für Polenstudien, Halle/Jena</b></p>
<p><br/>
</p>
<p>The Aleksander Brückner Centre for Polish Studies Jena invites researchers and students to a multi-part seminar in Naumburg with DAAD fellow Garik Moroz (Linguistic convergence lab, Higher School of Economics, Moscow).</p>
<p>In this course we will discover <b>basics of R, data visualization and manipulation</b> and discuss some <b>Natural Language Processing </b>topics like work with <b>strings, texts and research procedures (e.g., stylometry)</b>. We will focus on an application of these tools to <b>Polish, especially dialects of Polish. </b>Projects concerning other Slavic languages are also welcome. </p>
<p>Any background in R or programming is welcome but not obligatory. All classes are a <b>combination of lecture and application</b> of tools and methods used for problem solving. Participants should bring their own PC (if possible with R and RStudio already installed). </p>
<p>The course is <b>project driven</b>: participants will work on a specific data set and project which will ideally be based on a <b>real research question</b>. Rather than trying to cover all possible topics in a single course, the course is organized <b>around consultations and additional lectures</b> on particular topics as they are necessary for the projects.</p>
<p>The course will end with a <a href="https://deref-web-02.de/mail/client/ckmu9amo8pU/dereferrer/?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fderef-web-02.de%2Fmail%2Fclient%2FrNcZfCwzdj8%2Fdereferrer%2F%3FredirectUrl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fde.wikipedia.org%252Fwiki%252FHackathon" target="_blank"><b>hackathon</b></a>. During the hackathon participants use the acquired skills and knowledge to work on their projects and present their results during <b>a final presentation</b>. </p>
<p><br/>
</p>
<p><b>When?</b><br/>
Fridays: 7/2 & 14/2 & 21/2 - always from 10am to 4pm (including lunch break) + 28/2 (Hackathon and short presentation)</p>
