Main repository for all code and data related to Language Analytics (F21)

Language Analytics - Spring 2021

This repository contains all of the code and data related to the Spring 2021 module Language Analytics as part of the bachelor's tilvalg in Cultural Data Science at Aarhus University.

This repository is in active development, with new material being pushed on a weekly basis.

Technicalities

For the sake of convenience, I recommend using our own JupyterHub server for development purposes. The first time you use the server, you'll need to create your own version of the repo and install relevant dependencies in a virtual environment:

git clone https://github.com/CDS-AU-DK/cds-language.git
bash ./create_lang_venv.sh

From then on, every time you use the server, make sure you update the repo and install any new dependencies:

cd lang101
git pull origin main
bash ./create_lang_venv.sh

Repo structure

This repository has the following directory structure:

Column	Description
data	A folder to be used for sample datasets that we use in class.
notebooks	This is where you should save all exploratory and experimental notebooks.
src	For Python scripts developed in class and as part of assignments.
utils	Utility functions that are written by me, and which we'll use in class.

Class times

This class takes place on Wednesday mornings from 8-12. Teaching will take place on Zoom, the link for which will be posted on Slack.
