Introductory Workshop to Network Analysis of Texts
Announcement
Date: 2nd to 5th February 2004
Place: Lisbon, Portugal in ISEG (Institute of Economics and Business

Organization: SOCIUS (Research Centre on Economic Sociology and the
Sociology of Organisations)
Professor: Vladimir Batagelj (University of Ljubliana, Slovenia) –
http://vlado.fmf.uni-lj.si/
Objective: Familiarise the participants with the main concepts, methods
and applications of network analysis of text and to teach the basic
tools to conduct such an analysis.
Description: Different ways to derive networks from textual data and an
overview of applications of network analysis to the analysis of text
will be presented. Examples of analyses of different text networks will
be given as illustrations: bibliographic networks (for instance authors
collaboration networks and citation networks), dictionary networks
(Foldoc, Odlis, EAT, Wordnet, etc.) text analysis networks, which
through natural language processing and network analysis techniques
produces abstract representations of texts (ex: analysis of news
concerning terrorist attacks, KEDS). The course will also have a strong
focus on visualisation of these networks.
Program: Monday to Thursday – theory: 9.30 - 13h ; practice:
14.30-17h
Content of the course:
Day 1. Introduction to graphs, networks and Pajek.
Obtaining networks from textual data.
Day 2. Structure of networks (statistical characteristics,
components, cores, islands, ...)
Day 3. Important elements in networks (indices and weights).
Acyclic networks.
Day 4. Clustering and blockmodeling. Patterns searching.
In the afternoon the concepts from the morning lectures will be applied
in the analysis of real-life networks obtained from textual data. The
software utilised will be PAJEK, a program for large network analysis
and visualisation (freely available at
http://vlado.fmf.uni-lj.si/pub/networks/pajek )
Maximum number of participants: 22
Cost: 250€ (50% reduction for fulltime students). Payment can be
