This repo contains the resources for the N8 CIR text-mining workshop. Feel free to adapt and use these for your own projects.

The demos folder contains all the code. For the workshop, I recommend running them on Google colab using the following links:

1. Analysing the Disaster Dataset
2. Classification with a Simple SVM model
3. Classification with Transformers
4. Prompting LLMs
5. Chain-of-Thought Prompting

Here is a notebook to answer some of the questions people asked during the workshop:
