Workshop materials

Workshop materials#

You can find our workshop Jupyter Notebooks in the subfolder for reference. The first two Jupyter Notebooks are the same for all workshops. In contrast, the workshop-specific Jupyter Notebooks differ thematically and practically: Word Embeddings (Berlin), Sentiment Analysis (Würzburg) and Named Entity Recognition (Freiburg). After working through materials 01 and 02, you can continue with the notebook whose method you are particularly interested in.

If you want to continue trying out the Jupyter Notebooks after a workshop, you have two options:

  1. you can use our online environment at Try NLP

  2. you install your own JupyterLab environment locally on your computer so that you can work offline.
