Overview

Harnessing the wealth of freely available information on the Internet, Data Scientists can generate their own datasets on virtually any topic of interest. In this workshop, we demonstrate a full text analysis workflow in R using lyrics from currently popular songs. After scraping our lyrics from the web, we illustrate the steps typically involved in analysing text, from its cleaning and pre-processing to a variety of widely used feature engineering, visualisation and modelling techniques.
