Unit II: Machine Learning for Society and Culture
The second course of our series to introduce interactive data analysis with Python to humanities students will work through several research use cases using basic machine learning. We will use association mining to analyse communities of practice. One of the most intuitive techniques of data analysis is community detection. In the second session, we will explore political opinions in the US congress and how users of a social network share interest. We also employ network analysis to split up a small community network into groups and clusters before finally learning in the third session more about visualisation and image analysis.
Please, note that we require you to finish the first unit of this course before you can start this short course.
