Join us for DAMA SA - Big Data and Data Science monthly meetup as we welcome Thembani Phaweni as our guest speaker.

Over a year ago, Thembani started collecting tweets from a number of lists on Twitter. He recently pulled this data down from the cloud, where it's been stored. After some exploratory analysis, it became clear that a good way to understand the tweets' actual text content was needed. Many topic modelling approaches were applied. This talk is about how they worked out.
