The part that I found very interesting was the Ngram feature, which stands for Number of words. I taught this was really cool using this feature in order to see how many words are being repeated in the text.\u00a0 With the commands we can change it from top 25 to 100 also frequency or count, and the best thing is that we can download the bar chart which is cool to have that option for when it can be useful.\u00a0Something that I found vey frustrating was when I was following the instructions where I couldn&#8217;t see specific terms there were instructions us we should see. For example when I uploaded my data the instructions told me to make sure it said &#8220;successfully uploaded&#8221; but I wasn&#8217;t able to see it at all. I saw that it said &#8220;Uploaded&#8221; but not successfully, so not sure if I did something wrong on my end. I want to explore the &#8220;Sentiment Analysis&#8221; and the &#8220;Document Clustering&#8221; I wanted to see how the algorithms worked for both of these functions and if it does a good job in doing so.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Look through the\u00a0<a class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gale.com\/primary-sources\/gale-research-showcase\" rel=\"nofollow\">Gale Research Showcase<\/a> and examine some of the student research projects. What are some of the steps that the student researchers have to take? Does seeing other student&#8217;s work change your view of the tool or of text analysis, and does it change your confidence in your ability to use the tool?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some of the steps the other students had to take where first have ideas on what to do, than they would have to collect and build does ideas, afterwards they would begin with asking specific questions based on there topic, later begin playing with the tools using all the features they have to get or create the information they need. I think seeing other student&#8217;s work does help me visualize what is to be expected and does help me understand step by step on what to expect if someone where to ask me a question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How would you feel about helping someone else learn how to use Gale Digital Scholar Lab?
