This course exposes participants to the ‘world of possibilities’ in literature reviews in various fields. The seminar enables PhD students to understand basic purposes and approaches of different types of literature reviews and to apply them properly to their own individual research topics.

Do you ever feel that the data you need for your research is accessible but it’s not in a convenient table, such as company reports or building plans? Perhaps the information you need is spread out across many different documents? If only we could read and extract structured data from thousands of written documents. In this course, we explore how to accomplish this task by combining web scraping, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Over four weeks, we provide online lessons and interactive sessions to learn the fundamentals of these key technologies.
The course includes 4 live Online Meetings, in which you will discuss the week’s contents with the instructor and fellow participants.
