After my previous exploration of Self Organizing Maps, I decided to use the tool for an application of text mining: Can we visualize how Shakespeare’s characters and plays are similar or different from each other based on an analysis of their words?
This tutorial walks through a couple examples using R and suggests some further exploration. It’s split into two sequential parts:
Self Organizing Maps and Text Mining – Visualizing Shakespeare (Part 1)
Self Organizing Maps and Text Mining – Visualizing Shakespeare (Part 2)
