Sydney Informatics Hub helped USYD researchers joined to explore Wordflow, a new text analytics tool developed through the Language Data Commons of Australia (and co-funded by the Australian Research Data Commons).
Wordflow makes it easy to analyse large text collections, uncover trends, model topics and compare datasets –all through a simple browser-based interface.
Backed by Sydney Informatics Hub, a Core Research Facility at the University of Sydney.
