But how do you quantify free-text feedback, which is often the most useful and the only kind that gets you to the why? To put CrowdPrisma to the test, we selected a dataset from hell! Python is one of the most popular programming language in the world (and the number one in any scientific / machine learning related field). Its widespread adoption was propelled further by Jupyter: a browser based IDE that let's you explore datasets, build prototypes quickly and do much more in Chrome or FireFox.
In the early days of the project, the Jupyter developers asked for user feedback. However, more than half of the questions were free-text based, therefore making sense of this dataset was extremely challenging. So we put it through CrowdPrisma to see if it would identify recurring themes and groups who think alike...
