Full Description:: Are you interested in the analysis of text data, including conversation, forum chat, social media, or reports? Discursis is a computer assisted visual text analytic technique that analyses patterns of topic use in a text to produce informative visual and metric analyses of these topics over time. Discursis has been used to successfully analyse doctor/patient communication, television interview transcripts, phone recording transcripts, and Twitter feeds, amongst others. At this one day workshop the creators of the technique will discuss the following topics in a series of practical studio sessions:
• a basic introduction to the technique;
• example Discursis analyses that have been performed by the team;
• a practical session where users will be taken through the process of loading data using the software and analysing the output; and,
• an advanced session where we will briefly discuss advanced features including metric analysis.
