Political Scientist by training- trying to get into data science and working on a big project on Russia’s Cossacks (a paramilitary group sometimes used in the war with Ukraine). I have friends fighting on the front line, so this is my way of helping. Grateful for all help. Plans for the immediate project to develop Causality Extraction, Topic Modeling, and Facial Recognition approaches. Knime is far and away the easiest tool to use I have found (I have no formal coding training).
