Week 2 Tasks

0. Vien and Brian, you'll have to install the variable inspector if you want to use it. (Brian I had trouble getting this to work at all on Windows.) First you have to go into your text_mining_2021 directory and activate your virtual environment. Then run this command:

pip install lckr-jupyterlab-variableinspector

Then you have to restart jupyter lab. Find the terminal where jupyter lab is running. Hit control-c in that terminal. Then activate the virtual environment and execute juptyer lab.

Tactic, of course, has its own version of the variable inspector built in.

1. Grab the new notebooks for this week. They are numbered W2-1 through W2-4.

   • If you're not using Tactic, grab the new notebooks for this week from this repository and put them in your text_mining_2021 folder.
   • If you're using Tactic grab the new resources from the Tactic repository.
     • Go into tactic and click on "Repository" in the Navbar at the top of the page
     • Navigate to the Projects tab.
     • Highlight one notebook at a time and click this button: . That will copy the resources to your personal library. After you've got all of the new notebooks you can close the browser tab with the repository.

2. Review the three notebooks that we went through in class. Take your time understanding them.

3. Try the tasks in W2-4 Solo work.

4. I uploaded a chapter on collocations from an oldish textbook. The latter part of the chapter talks about a number of different ways of doing the hypothesis testing. I don't think you'd get much from trying to understanding all of these different methods. So maybe skim the last parts.
