SUMMARY:R bugs and bites - R-Ladies Trondheim
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a relaxed evening with tea, snacks, and good company. Bring an R challenge you've been stuck on, a project you want to make progress on, or just yourself. There's no agenda, no slides -- just a room full of people who like R (and snacks).\nWhether you're a beginner looking for a nudge in the right direction or a seasoned R-user happy to share what you know, you're welcome here.\n\nThe event will take place in the room ØHM11. The outer door is locked, but we will wait outside to let you in, or call me on 47641800.\nMazemap: https://link.mazemap.com/E1NxhvoO\nGoogle maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MbuZZPL8m2simBwd9\n\nThe room may be a bit confusing to find, because it is NOT in the main building of Øya helsehus, it is in a smaller building right east of it.

SUMMARY:From Dictionaries to LLMs: Text Analysis in R   - R-Ladies Rome
DESCRIPTION:This workshop walks through a complete text analysis pipeline in R, combining traditional methods with newer AI-powered tools.\n\nIn the first part, we will cover tokenization with tidytext, stopword removal (including custom stopwords), word frequency visualization with wordclouds and bar plots, dictionary-based sentiment analysis using three lexicons (AFINN, Bing, and NRC), topic modeling with LDA, and bigram analysis with word networks.\n\nIn the second part, we explore how the mall package can be used to perform sentiment analysis with local LLMs (via Ollama), comparing this approach to dictionary-based methods, and look at related tasks like text classification and entity extraction.\n\nFamiliarity with R and the tidyverse is assumed.

SUMMARY:Psicometría con R:  Introducción a la teoría de respuesta al ítem (TRI) - R-Ladies Buenos Aires
DESCRIPTION:En este taller introductorio vamos a acercarnos a la **Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem (TRI)** de una manera práctica y accesible. La TRI sirve para entender mejor **cómo funcionan los ítems (preguntas) de un test y cómo miden una habilidad o rasgo**. Nos permite ver, por ejemplo, si un ítem es más fácil o más difícil, si discrimina bien entre personas con distinto nivel, y si funciona de manera consistente.\nTambién es una herramienta muy útil para seleccionar los mejores ítems, acortar tests sin perder calidad y diseñar escalas más precisas.\n\nA lo largo del encuentro, vas a:\n\- Construir una comprensión conceptual de sus ideas principales\.\n\- Aplicar este método usando R\.\n\- Aprender a interpretar sus resultados para entender mejor cómo funcionan los ítems y qué aportan a la medición\.\n\nEste taller es **introductorio** y está dirigido a personas con un **conocimiento básico de escalas psicométricas**. **No requiere conocimiento previo de Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem.**\n\n**Requerimientos:**\n\n* R: 4.5.1 (mínimo)\n* RStudio: 2025.05.1 (mínimo, descargar [aquí](https://posit.co/downloads/))\n* Instalar los paquetes **tidyverse, mirt y ltm**

SUMMARY:Automatic NLP with LLMS Using {mall} - R-Ladies Paris
DESCRIPTION:🔜 We are excited to announce our next virtual meetup in collaboration with R-Ladies Abuja (https://www.meetup.com/rladies-abuja/).\n\nJoin us on May 13 from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm CEST (GMT+2) for a talk on performing automatic NLP with LLMs using mall with Edgar Ruiz — Software Engineer at Posit.\n\nTalk abstract: We’re all too familiar with the grind of building functional NLP: labeling data, fitting models, and endless tuning. In this talk, we’ll see how mall lets us bypass model training entirely by using LLMs to handle complex multilingual translation, sentiment analysis, and entity extraction row-wise across our data. We’ll explore how to run these solutions using a familiar R syntax, whether you're working with local models for privacy or remote APIs for scale.\n\nWe look forward to seeing many of you there!
