Project Description

The project involves the use of machine learning, data science methods and econometric analysis on large datasets to investigate the creative industries. It focuses on multiple types of data, ranging from text-based data (e.g., semantic analysis, topic modelling, and text mining) to quantitative data (e.g., descriptive analysis and regression analysis).


Software or Compute Methods

R and Python are the primary software used in this project for several tasks. The HPC resources are mainly used to run R and Python on large datasets, where computations may take several hours or days to complete.
