How can I learn to carry out text mining analyses myself using the Python programming language, even with no prior knowledge?
What is natural language processing and what is its role in this process?
Which software can I use to document my results and at the same time visualise them in an appealing way?
How can I use OpenRefine software to easily prepare tabular data without any programming knowledge?
How can I search in scientific literature with AI?
How can I search for specific theses in scientific literature?

Find out the answers to these questions in our workshops, where you can apply your new knowledge directly to practical examples.
