From Zipf distribution to Universal Dependencies – Interactive Notebooks for Swedish Text Analysis

Abstract

Notebook-based environments are powerful (web-based) interactive development resources for conducting exploratory (textual) data analysis (EDA). These environments allow the embedding of code (code snippets in ‛code cells’) which can be easily executed with the results immediately presented into the user’s window. This paper introduces some basic exploratory tools and techniques using JupyterLab notebooks, applied to Swedish using a subcorpus that address various topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic published during January-December 2021.
