Using the Natural Language Toolkit for Analysis

The Natural Language Toolkit (aka NLTK) represents a fairly comprehensive set of text analytics tools for the Python programming language. These powerful tools will allow you to leverage the 80% of data that is unstructured and hard to use. We will briefly cover the key concepts, how to automatically diagram sentences and how to leverage that information into a task that would be hard without natural language processing but is easy with it.

Learn about how to use NLP in a practical way for information retrieval, information understanding and gain new ways in which text data can be looked at for exploitation.

You don't need to know Python to benefit from this session! The ideas here are applicable in many settings, even if just to give an introduction to how you might use natural language processing in the work you do.
