With all of us blogging, emailing and posting updates on social media, the amount of textual data is growing fast. So how do you make sense of all that big data?

Dr. Goutam Chakraborty teaches a Business Knowledge Series course, Text Analytics and Sentiment Mining Using SAS, where you can learn how to organize, manage and mine textual data to extract the best information to improve your business.

I interviewed Dr. Chakraborty at last year’s Analytics Conference to find out more about the course and the real-world benefits for students.

You can find Dr. Chakraborty again at the Analytics 2014 conference in Frankfurt where he’ll be teaching a pre-conference training class and also speaking at the event.
