Pandas is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with 'relational' or 'labeled' data both easy and intuitive. It enables doing practical, real world data analysis in Python.
In this workshop, we'll work with example data and go through the various steps you might need to prepare data for analysis.
If you are working on a computational text analysis project and have wondered how to legally acquire, use, and publish text and data, this workshop is for you! We will teach you 5 legal literacies (copyright, contracts, privacy, ethics, and special use cases) that will empower you to make well-informed decisions about compiling, using, and sharing your corpus.
Overview
Part 1: This hands-on workshop goes through the common “preprocessing recipe” that is used as the foundation for a variety of other applications as well as some basic natural language processing techniques. These include: a) removal of stopwords, numbers, punctuation, b) tokenization, c) calculation of word frequencies / proportions, and d) part of speech tagging.

Overview
An introduction to programming basics in Bash and GitHub that are often assumed, but that you might have never had good instruction on!
Overview
Geospatial data are an important component of data visualization and analysis in the social sciences, humanities, and elsewhere. The R programming language is a great platform for exploring these data and integrating them into your research.

Title: ML, OCR and NLP for extracting information from biological pathway figures
D-Lab info session for the LBNL community. Come learn about all the resources and services D-Lab has to offer and see how you can get involved! We will give an overview of our workshops, trainings, consultations, services, and projects.
Want to make a web map, but not sure where to start? This short workshop will introduce key mapping terms and concepts and give an overview of popular platforms used to create web maps. We’ll explore one of these platforms (ArcGIS Online) in more detail. You’ll get some hands-on practice adding data, changing the basemap, and creating interactive map visualizations.
Overview
This four-part, interactive workshop series is your complete introduction to programming Python for people with little or no previous programming experience. By the end of the series, you will be able to apply your knowledge of basic principles of programming and data manipulation to a real-world social science application.
