R project; Work in progress

(Part 1) Perform text-mining on abstracts of science contributions, presented at the AGU Fall Meeting 2012, San Francisco. This was a big annual conference for Earth scientists, in particular geophysicists and geologists.

Use R to draw interesting conclusions from a subset of the 23000 abstracts submitted. (These are not included with this repository.)

(Part 2) Perform text-mining on abstracts of science contributions, to be presented at the EGU General Assembly 2013, Vienna (see below). This is also a big annual conference for Earth scientists, in particular geophysicists and geologists.

Both AGU and EGU conferences have the same target audience, and they even share the same classification system of scientific subfields.

Use R to draw interesting conclusions from a subset of the 11000 abstracts submitted. (These are also not included with this repository.)

Results from this project will be presented at EGU General Assembly 2013, a conference in Vienna to happen in April 2013. There will be a poster about text-mining in R, on beginner level.
