Tools for reviewing, coding, and retrieving text found in qualitative data analysis packages carry with them no particular attributes for ensuring the reliability or accuracy of the recorded observations. Based on 13 years of multidisciplinary experience, this presentation guides researchers through key aspects of measuring coder validity and reliability as part of building custom machine classifiers. The presentation demonstrates how text mining and related analytic tools focus attention on unexpected or difficult to code concepts, which in many cases will constitute the most interesting terrain for deeper investigation.
