Practical hands-on workshop “Advanced Twitter Analytics Using TCAT and Tableau” by professor Axel Bruns on 3 November

Practical hands-on workshop “Advanced Twitter Analytics Using TCAT and Tableau” by professor Axel Bruns will take place on 3 November 2016 from 14-17 in the University of Tartu, Institute of Social Studies (Lossi 36, room 207).

This data analytics and visualisation tutorial will focus on a number of emerging standard tools and methods for large-scale data analytics, using Twitter data to illustrate these approaches. The tutorial will introduce participants to the open-source Twitter Capture and Analysis Toolkit (TCAT) as a capable and reliable tool for data gathering from the Twitter API, and to the high-end data analytics software Tableau as a powerful means of processing and visualising large datasets. The skills gained in the tutorial are also transferrable to working with other large datasets from social media and other sources.
