The course will be delivered in the form of Jupyter Notebooks, a web-based interactive computational environment for creating Jupyter notebooks documents.
As running example, we will use the Glasgow Norms dataset, a collection of 5,196 words and their ratings on a variety of semantic scales. A data exploration notebook is available here.
- Basic knowledge of Python (optional) and R (optional)
The course will leverage the SoBigData Research Infrastructure.
A dedicated VRE (Virtual Research Environment) can be accessed here.
Download and install Anaconda, a Python distribution designed to support the Data Science community.
The Jupyter Notebook server can be installed/executed (visually) using "Anaconda Navigator". To execute the notebook "Mixing R and Python" you need to have R installed on your machine.
