During the 2018 EAA PhD Forum in Milan I gave a break-out session on NLP / Textual Analysis for Accounting research using Python. In my talk I provided a bird’s-eye view of the various NLP techniques that are relevant for Accounting research.
The full set of slides can be viewed online on my personal website:

(My talk was recorded on video, available here)
I have also created a Jupyter Notebook with code examples for all of the techniques mentioned in my talk, this notebook can be viewed here:
