And in my last Twitter thread, I wanted to talk with you about some powerful approaches in #NLP and how we can use both #rstats and #python to unleash them 💪

One possible downside when using the bag of words approach described before is that you often cannot fully take the structure of the language into account (n-grams are one way, but they are often limited).

@Google

You also often need many data to successfully train your model - which can be time-consuming and labor intensive. An alternative is to use a pre-trained model. And here comes @Google's famous deep learning model: BERT.

💡 What is reactivity and what does it have to do with a carrier pigeon? 🐦

To better understand how a #ShinyApp works, it's good to understand what's behind reactivity.

@StatGarrett

To describe it, I love the image of a carrier pigeon 🐦 (I picked up this idea when reading a post by @StatGarrett - so all credits go to him and all errors are mine ✨)

@StatGarrett

@StatGarrett What reactivity does is "a magic trick [that] creates the illusion that one thing is happening, when in fact something else is going on" (shiny.rstudio.com/articles/under…).

👩🏼‍💻 How do you set up your own #ShinyApp?

It's easy in #rstats! Start a new #Rproject and select "Shiny Application". It will create a project with an "app.R" file for you ✨

Once it's open, you can replace the code that is already in the "app.R" file with this code snippet below👇 It does all the magic and shows how you can build a simple #ShinyApp 🔮

(it's here for you to try: bit.ly/shinyapp-test)

What the ShinyApp does:

You have checkboxes on the left side that let you choose countries (it's the ISO3 abbreviation, so "RWA" stands for Rwanda) and, depending on what you selected, your #ShinyApp will show a (non-realistic) population size for each country in a new plot.

💡 What is a ShinyApp?

Shiny is a framework that allows you to create web applications - ShinyApps ☺️ You can use them for multiple purposes - to visualize data 🎨 (for instance the Scottish Household Survey by @ViktErik, bit.ly/3TqZevY, ...

While I touched the surface of what you can do with #Git today, it’s an extremely powerful tool that has so much more to offer 🤩
