Categorizing text responses from a survey

[Silvana]

Hello everyone,

I am new to using R. I have survey data that contains an open-ended text response for racial background
I already have categories of racial background determined and I need to categorize these text responses into each category.
Can someone please give me some tips or some examples on how I can get started with this? Am I to use the tm package?

Thank you!

Hi, and welcome!

This is a problem in natural language processing (NLP). A good starting point is Text Mining with R and the tidytext package it describes.
