What can you do with a piece of text? The very first steps in processing a text file would involve (1) reading it in, (2) tokenizing the text string into a list of words, and (3) compiling and exploring word frequency counts. With a beginner-friendly programming language like Python, it is possible to learn to accomplish these tasks in a short period of time. In this workshop, we will try them out using Python and NLTK (Natural Language ToolKit), a popular Python module. Knowledge of neither will be assumed.
